Splits backup RB duties Hull had five rushes for three yards during Sunday's 29-6 victory versus the Jets.

Impact Hull split carries with fellow backup running back Audric Estime, who had five carries for 19 yards, along with four receptions (on five targets). RB1 Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) and Devin Neal (hamstring) were both inactive, but Taysom Hill ultimately served as the team's leading rusher with 12 carries for 42 yards and four catches (on six targets). Hull will likely be limited going forward, even if Kamara and Neal remain sidelined Week 17 versus Tennessee.

Four touches as fellow RB gets hurt Hull rushed four times for 12 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

Impact Hull and Audric Estime were the only options remaining at running back after Devin Neal (hamstring) exited in the second quarter. Estime finished with 50 scrimmage yards on three carries and three targets. Hull and Estime would likely share backfield work in Week 16 against the Jets if the Saints don't get Neal or Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) back.

Records two touches in Tampa Bay Hull notched one carry for four yards and reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 24-20 victory against the Buccaneers.

Impact With Alvin Kamara out for the second game in a row, Hull once again saw the field in the Saints' injury-riddled running-back room. This week, Devin Neal took on a bigger role as the RB1 with 19 carries, and fellow backup Audric Estime saw more run with three carries compared to zero in the previous game. Hull has now accumulated seven rushing attempts in four career games across his first three seasons. Even if the Saints are hit with more injuries at running back, it's unlikely that Hull will be their first choice to help fill the void. Fantasy owners should expect much out of him during the Week 15 contest versus Carolina.

Logs five carries in NOLA debut Hull tallied five carries for 15 yards during Sunday's 21-17 loss versus Miami.

Impact Alvin Kamara was inactive with an MCL sprain suffered last week, leaving Hull, Devin Neal and Audric Estime as the Saints' three active running backs. Neal handled the bulk of the rushing workload with 14 carries while playing 82 percent of offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Hull played just 18 percent of offensive snaps while Estime never saw the field. Hull appears set to be the RB2 so long as Kamara remains out, but his production probably won't serve much purpose in terms of fantasy value. New Orleans will next play versus Tampa Bay on Sunday, Dec. 7th.

DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Joins 53-man roster The Saints signed Hull off the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact With Alvin Kamara dealing with a knee injury, Hull will give the Saints some backfield depth behind rookie Devin Neal and Audric Estime. Hull has appeared in two career regular-season games, rushing one time for one yard.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with New Orleans Hull signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact The 25-year-old running back was a fifth-round pick in the 2023 Draft by the Colts but has appeared in just two career regular-season contests. With Kendre Miller (knee) done for the season, Hull provides the Saints organizational depth.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Steelers Pittsburgh cut Hull on Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Impact Hull inked a reserve/future contract with the Steelers back in January, but despite spending the entire offseason with the team he couldn't secure a spot on the initial 53-man roster. He may be a candidate to resurface on the practice squad, however.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Limited work in preseason opener Hull rushed six times for seven yards while securing one of three targets for six yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over Jacksonville.

Impact Hull spent most of the past two seasons on the Colts' practice squad but signed a reserve/future contract with Pittsburgh in January. He didn't make much of an impact in Saturday's preseason opener, and it seems most likely that he's simply competing for a spot on the Steelers' practice squad ahead of the regular season.

OTA 5: Steelers' deep backfield Conversations with Evan Hull, Cam Johnston, Calvin Austin, Mason McCormick

JUNE 5 • 247SPORTS.COM

Signs with Pittsburgh The Steelers signed Hull to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Impact Hull was a fifth-round pick of the Colts in the 2023 NFL Draft and spent each of the past two seasons with the team, mostly on the practice squad. He appeared in two games for the team, logging one rushing attempt for one yard, while catching one pass for six yards. Hull will try to win a backup job in Pittsburgh's backfield this upcoming offseason.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad The Colts re-signed Hull to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Hull continues to bounce on and off Indianapolis' practice squad, after his spot on the 53-man roster was taken by the activation of DeForest Buckner from IR. The second-year pro has only played one offensive snap this season, Week 7 against Miami.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Indy The Colts waived Hull on Saturday.

Impact Hull was waived to make room for star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner on the 53-man roster. A 2023 fifth-round pick, Hull has spent time this season bouncing between the practice squad and active roster. It won't be surprising if he resurfaces with the Colts in some capacity, assuming Hull clears waivers.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Indianapolis Colts sign RB Evan Hull from practice squad to 53-man roster The Indianapolis Colts announced on Saturday that they’ve signed running back Evan Hull from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • USATODAY.COM

Signs with Indy Hull was signed to the active roster Saturday.

Impact With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) out another week, Hull was always going to be on the roster in some capacity come Sunday. The 2023 fifth-round pick didn't play any snaps last week in the loss to Jacksonville, but Hull does represent quality depth behind the likes of Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Hull reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Hull was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Jaguars, failing appear in the game. If Jonathan Taylor (ankle) remains unavailable in Week 6 versus the Titans, Hull elevated again.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated to active roster Hull was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

Impact The assumption is that Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson will operate in a platoon to replace the injured Jonathan Taylor (ankle), but it was Hull, a 2023 fifth-round pick that actually opened as the starting running back in 2023 with Taylor sidelined, only to suffer what became a season-ending knee injury a few plays into his rookie campaign. Hull then put together a solid preseason, but still ultimately was waived in favor of Sermon and Goodson. Fantasy managers should take the Colts at their word when it comes to the running back depth chart, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the second-year pro emerge as an option given Hull's success in a relatively difficult Northwestern offense (1,922 rushing yards across 417 carries in his final two collegiate years).

OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Colts elevate RB Evan Hull, CB David Long Jr. to active roster from practice squad for Week 5; sign CB Alex Johnson to practice squad, release RB Trent Pennix from practice squad The Colts made the roster moves on Saturday.

OCTOBER 5, 2024 • COLTS.COM

Lands on practice squad The Colts signed Hull to the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Hull, a 2023 fifth-round pick, was caught up in roster cuts Tuesday, but he now gets a chance to stick around with Indianapolis. As a rookie Hull only suited up for one game before going down with a knee injury, but he's familiar with the Colts' offensive scheme and will likely be on the short list for a promotion to the active roster should the team suffer any backfield attrition. To open the regular season, though, it looks like Trey Sermon (hamstring) and Tyler Goodson will work as the top backups to Jonathan Taylor.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jettisoned by Indianapolis The Colts waived Hull on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Hull spent the preseason competing for a reserve role behind starter Jonathan Taylor, but it appears that Indianapolis is more comfortable with both Trey Sermon (hamstring) and Tyler Goodson as depth options. As a rookie last season Hull was only able to play one game with the Colts before going down with a knee injury. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, the team may opt to bring Hull back via the practice squad.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another solid preseason game Hull had nine carries for 30 yards but lost three yards on one reception in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals.

Impact Hull was the third running back to enter the game after Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Goodson, but also got time with the first-string offense. Goodson rushed 13 times for 57 yards and caught two of three targets for 10 yards, so the two backs competing for the No. 3 running back job had another similar preseason outing. Trey Sermon hurt his hamstring in the preseason opener, and if he still isn't ready to play by the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Texans, Goodson and Hull would likely split change-of-pace duties behind Taylor.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gains 31 yards on five touches Hull had four carries for 26 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Saturday's preseason win over Arizona.

Impact Hull was the second player to receive a carry for Indianapolis behind Tyler Goodson (6-35-1) despite taking reps ahead of his backfield mate during practice this week. Projected No. 2 back Trey Sermon remains sidelined with the hamstring injury he suffered in the Colts' preseason opener, upgrading the battle for third on the depth chart to a competition to be Jonathan Taylor's primary backup. Hull, Goodson and possibly Zavier Scott (11-55-1) may compete for multiple spots on the roster heading into the final week of the exhibition schedule.

AUGUST 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Working as No. 2 running back Hull took the majority of No. 2 running back snaps during Wednesday's practice with Trey Sermon (hamstring) sidelined, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.

Impact Hull has a chance to build some momentum at training camp after an impressive showing in Indianapolis' preseason opener, the same game in which Sermon departed early due to a hamstring injury. Thus far Sermon had worked as the clear No. 2 man behind Jonathan Taylor, but Wednesday's practice seems like an indication that Hull, one of the better pass-catchers in the Colts' backfield, could be favored for the No. 3 gig over Tyler Goodson.
