Overview

  • Nyheim Hines reached a contract agreement with the Los Angeles Chargers on July 21 after a successful tryout.
  • The 28-year-old running back has been out of action since tearing his ACL and LCL in a July 2023 jet-ski accident.
  • After spending the 2024 season rehabbing and signing briefly with the Browns without playing, he was released in February.
  • He will vie for a reserve role behind first-round pick Omarion Hampton in a backfield led by Najee Harris.
  • His dual-threat abilities as a pass catcher and return specialist align with Greg Roman’s run-oriented offensive scheme.
