Former Colts RB eyes NFL regular season return after missing 2 years with injury

Former Indianapolis Colts' running back Nyheim Hines, who hasn't played since the 2022 season, is looking to return to NFL regular season action.

Hines would tear his ACL in a jet-ski accident during the 2023 offseason and didn't play in the NFL during that season. He signed with Cleveland last offseason but didn't appear in any games in 2024 either.

But now, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Hines believes his knee is ready as he looks to make a full return.

Hines was a fourth-round pick by the Colts in 2018 and played four-plus seasons with the team prior to being traded to the Buffalo Bills during the 2022 season.

In that trade, the Colts would receive running back Zach Moss and a 2023 conditional sixth-round pick. Moss spent the rest of the 2022 season with the Colts and all of 2023, appearing in 22 games while averaging 4.5 yards per rush during that span.

During Hines' career with the Colts, he appeared in 81 games and made 17 starts. He averaged 3.9 yards per carry overall, but was a big factor in the passing game, totaling 60-plus targets in two of his four full seasons with the team.

Hines was also a kick and punt returner with the Colts as well, averaging almost 12 yards per return on punts.

With the Bills to finish out the 2022 season, Hines' role on offense was minimal, but he continued to handle return man duties, which included scoring two touchdowns on kick returns.

I wouldn't anticipate a reunion with the Colts, but according to Schefter's report, Hines will be looking to catch on with an NFL team for the 2025 season.
