Former Browns RB Nyheim Hines Seeks NFL Comeback After Injury

Nyheim Hines, the former Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills running back and return specialist, is aiming for an NFL comeback after nearly two years off due to a torn ACL sustained in a jet ski accident. Despite not playing in any games for the Browns in 2024 and being released, Hines believes his knee is fully healed and is actively seeking a new team before training camp. Known for his versatility, Hines has impressive career stats, including 1,202 rushing yards, 1,778 receiving yards, and four return touchdowns, and he once became the 11th player in NFL history to score two kickoff return touchdowns in a single game. Meanwhile, former Tennessee Vols running back Eric Gray faces an uncertain future with the New York Giants, where his underwhelming performance and the addition of a new running back could lead to his release. Additionally, veteran wide receiver Chase Claypool is also pursuing an NFL return after rehabbing through 2024, with potential fits on teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs as a depth option. Both Hines and Claypool represent players looking to revitalize their careers in the upcoming season.
