The Bills plan to release Hines (knee) during the upcoming week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Though Hines is expected to attain full medical clearance ahead of training camp while he nears the finish line in his recovery from the ACL reconstruction surgery he required last August, he'll have to find work elsewhere while Buffalo looks to utilize his 90-man offseason roster spot on another player. After being acquired from the Colts in November 2022 in exchange for running back Zack Moss and a 2023 fifth-round draft pick, Hines appeared in just nine regular-season games for Buffalo, carrying six times for minus-3 yards to go with five catches for 53 yards and a touchdown while also contributing two scores as a kickoff returner. If teams are satisfied with where Hines stands in his ongoing recovery from knee surgery, he could have an opportunity to battle for a third-down role out of the backfield and/or a return job at his next stop.
