Hill is slated to return to his versatile role on offense and special teams Sunday against the Chiefs with Drew Brees (ribs) expected to return from injured reserve to start at quarterback for the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Brees remains on IR for now, but he's expected to be activated no later than Saturday, putting an end to his four-game absence. Hill performed well as the fill-in starter during that stretch, compiling a 3-1 record and completing 82 of 114 pass attempts for 834 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions while also rushing 39 times for 209 yards and four more scores. The 30-year-old should be involved in the offense as a runner and receiver in addition to his duties on special teams while Jameis Winston serves as a more traditional backup option behind Brees.
