Former Indianapolis Colts<\/a> running back Nyheim Hines has landed with a new team, signing with the LA Chargers, according to Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n

Hines hasn’t played in an NFL regular season game since 2022 due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Hines would tear his ACL in a jet-ski accident<\/a> during the 2023 offseason and miss that entire year. He signed with Cleveland last offseason but didn’t appear in any games in 2024 either.<\/p>\n

A fourth-round selection by the Colts<\/a> in 2018, Hines played his first four-plus seasons in Indianapolis before he was traded to the Buffalo Bills<\/a> during the 2022 season. In return, the Colts would receive<\/a> running back Zach Moss and a 2023 conditional sixth-round pick.<\/p>\n

During his Colts’ career, Hines made 17 starts<\/a> and appeared in 81 games. He averaged 3.9 yards per rush but was a big part of the passing game, catching 235 passes–including two 60-plus catch seasons–for 1,778 yards and eight touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Hines was also a kick and punt returner with the Colts as well, averaging almost 12 yards per return on 73 punt attempts with two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
