Kylin Hill - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out with knee injury Hill will not return to Thursday's game against the Cardinals after suffering a knee injury.

Impact Hill suffered a hit to his lower body on a kickoff return late in the third quarter. He exited on a cart, but there has been official word on his exact injury.

Handles three carries in Week 7 Hill had three carries for two yards in Sunday's 24-10 victory over Washington.

Impact Hill surprisingly handled the Packers' first rushing attempt in Sunday's contest, but he was a non-factor after that, not recording another touch until Green Bay's final drive of the contest. While the early carry could be a sign the Packers are working him into the playbook in more ways, he will have to pick up the production before garnering more than just a look in fantasy circles.

Catches first career pass Hill had one reception for five yards in Sunday's 25-22 victory over the Bengals. He also returned one kick for 16 yards.

Impact Hill did not carry the ball at all for the third week in a row, but he did catch his first pass as a professional. The Packers' third-string running back played only two snaps Sunday, and with both Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon healthy, Hill figures to continue playing only a bit role in the Packers offense.

Makes impact on special teams Hill had two carries for eight yards in Monday's 35-17 victory over the Lions. He also returned two kicks for 60 yards in the contest.

Impact For the second week in a row Hill did not get a carry until the game was out of hand, but he did make an impact on special teams Monday, taking back a kick 41 yards in the second quarter that helped set up a Packers touchdown. With fellow ball carriers Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon healthy, expect Hill to continue working in the same role for the time being.

Five carries late in Week 1 Hill had five carries for 14 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Packers.

Impact Hill finished tied for the team lead in carries, second in rushing yards and played just two fewer snaps than A.J. Dillon in Week 1, but fantasy players should be aware he did not touch the ball until the Packers swapped out Aaron Rodgers for Jordan Love in the fourth quarter of Sunday's lopsided contest. Hill is an intriguing prospect for the Packers, but don't consider him a threat to Dillon's backup spot behind Aaron Jones just yet.

Secures roster spot Hill has a spot on the Packers' initial 53-man roster, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Green Bay fans knew as much a week or two ago, with the seventh-round rookie putting forth a strong preseason to back up positive camp reports. Hill may be a distant third to Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, but that still leaves him just one injury away from touches, regardless of his role (or lack thereof) in the Week 1 gameplan. The Packers released Dexter Williams and Patrick Taylor on Tuesday, leaving only Jones, Dillon and Hill at RB on the initial 53-man.

Closes out preseason strong Hill took seven carries for 37 yards and caught one pass for seven yards in Saturday's 19-0 preseason loss to the Bills.

Impact With the Packers resting starters, Hill and AJ Dillon both got plenty of run with the second-team offense. Dillon was the starter and took the first three carries, but Hill also got touches on the opening drive. The rookie seventh-round pick seems to have won the No. 3 RB job, ahead of Dexter Williams and Patrick Taylor.

Finds end zone Saturday Hill carried the ball seven times for 29 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 11 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Jets.

Impact The 2021 seventh-round pick watched AJ Dillon get treated like a bell cow on the Packers' first possession of the day, but Hill jumped in with a 12-yard scoring scamper to cap the drive before taking over the lead role in the backfield for most of the rest of the first half. Hill remains the favorite for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart to begin the regular season, but it could be tough for him to see much work behind Aaron Jones and Dillon -- the latter saw only 48 touches in 11 games in a similar role last season.

Impact Aaron Jones (hamstring) and AJ Dillon are locked in as the Packers' top two running backs provided they are healthy, but the third spot on the depth chart is up for grabs, and the rookie currently stands ahead of Patrick Taylor and Dexter Williams in the competition. Hill did not get anything going on the ground in the Packers' preseason opener, finishing with negative-two yards on five carries, but he did flash on a screen pass that he took 22 yards to the house and he also returned three kicks for 58 yards.
