Hill appears set to miss out on an opportunity to take on a larger-than-usual role in the absence of Saints wide receivers Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee). Head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that he's hopeful Hill can return for an Oct. 27 matchup with the Chargers in Week 8, according to John Hendrix of SI.com.
