Recovering well from wrist surgery Hill underwent a procedure to address a wrist ligament injury during the offseason, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Per Wilson, Hill was able to continue training and practicing while wearing a cast, but it's not fully clear whether he'll be ready to suit up come Week 1 of the regular season. Any reps he misses could mean extra attention for offseason trade acquisition Marte Mapu.
