Colts' T.Y. Hilton: Still plans to play

Hilton still wants to play in the NFL, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

Hilton dealt with numerous injuries during the 2021 campaign, including a neck issue that required surgery at beginning of the season. The 32-year-old wideout said after a devastating Week 18 loss to the Jaguars that he'd take time to ponder his future and that retirement was a possibility. However, based on Tuesday's comments from Colts general manager Chris Ballard, it appears Hilton may be returning to the team for at least one more season. The emergence of Michael Pittman, added to Carson Wentz's struggles, dealt a big hit to Hilton's fantasy potential during his 10th season in the NFL. The veteran appeared in 10 contests last year and finished with 23 receptions for 331 yards and three touchdowns -- all career lows.
