Bills' Nyheim Hines: Officially placed on reserve/NFI
The Bills placed Hines (knee) on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.
Hines was injured in a jet ski accident last weekend and is expected to miss the season after suffering an ACL injury. It's a horrible break for Hines. In the wake of the injury, the Bills have signed veteran RB Darrynton Evans to compete for a job behind James Cook, Damien Harris and Latavius Murray.

Bills' Nyheim Hines: Injures left ACL
Hines sustained an injury to his left ACL when he was struck by a jet ski this weekend while away from the Bills' facility, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Hines, who is expected to miss the coming season, is likely to have surgery to repair his knee sometime this week. Getzenberg adds that the expectation and goal is for the running back to return to the field for the 2024 campaign. Prior to his injury, Hines had been in line to compete for change-of-pace touches in Buffalo's backfield as well as serve as a key returner for the team. In his looming absence, James Cook, Damien Harris and Latavius Murray currently profile as the Bills' top three backs, with undrafted free agent Jordan Mims also in the mix.

Bills' Nyheim Hines: Needs season-ending surgery
Hines (knee) will undergo season-ending surgery to address an injury suffered as the result of being struck by another rider while stationary on a jet ski, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Hines' injuries are reportedly serious, but not life-threatening. He will be required to miss the entire 2023 season and work to rehab for the 2024 campaign, for which he is also under contract with Buffalo. However, Hines carries a low dead-cap salary number for the 2024 season, and he might need to consider a restructure once back to full health. His absence could solidify a three-headed backfield committee for the Bills, with all of James Cook, Damien Harris and Latavius Murray available for work.

Bills' Nyheim Hines: Suffers significant knee injury
Hines (knee) suffered a significant injury away from the Bills' training facilities and is expected to miss the entire 2023 campaign, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Hines joined Buffalo at the trade deadline last season and was expected to contribute as a versatile depth or change-of-pace option in 2023, but it appears that the 26-year-old will instead be shut down for the year. Further tests should confirm the severity of Hines' injury shortly, but the timing is particularly brutal, as, in 2022, he had to operate without full command of the playbook. James Cook, Damien Harris and Latavius Murray could all see slight upticks in their workload if Hines indeed misses the entire season, in addition to Cook, Deonte Harty and Khalil Shakir each getting more opportunities in the receiving game.

Bills' Nyheim Hines: Role in offense TBD
Hines figures to continue to make an impact as a kick/punt returner this coming season, Ryan O'Halloran of the Buffalo News reports.
As training camp approaches, however, Hines' volume in the Bills offense is difficult to project, given that the team's backfield also includes James Cook, Damien Harris and Latavius Murray. After heading to Buffalo in a trade with the Colts last November, Hines logged just six carries and five catches in nine games, but now that he's more up to speed with the playbook, the 26-year-old does have the ability to contribute more in 2023, both as a pass catcher or change-of-pace option. That said, it may take an injury or two among the Bills' other running backs in order for Hines to garner enough touches to merit fantasy consideration.
