• Dontrell Hilliard: Still available

  07/17/2023 • By RotoWire

  Hilliard (neck) remains a free agent a week before the start of NFL training camps, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Hilliard went into last season as Tennessee's passing-down back and caught a pair of TD passes Week 1, but he was mostly quiet thereafter and eventually missed the final four games with a neck injury that sent him to injured reserve. He did well with his limited touches, averaging 6.6 yards on 22 carries and 6.8 yards on 26 targets, so the 28-year-old should at least get the chance to compete for a backup role this summer if he's healthy and wants to continue his career.

  12/12/2022 • By RotoWire

  Hilliard (neck) won't play Sunday against the Chargers, per coach Mike Vrabel, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports. Hilliard being ruled out so early in the week suggests the change-of-pace running back could be looking at an extended absence. He'll sit out Week 15 at a minimum, leaving Julius Chestnut as Tennessee's likely passing down option against the Chargers. Chestnut caught both of his targets for eight yards in the Week 14 loss to Jacksonville after Hilliard got hurt.

• Titans' Dontrell Hilliard: Catches two passes

  12/06/2022 • By RotoWire

  Hilliard rushed the ball once for two yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles. He added two receptions on two targets for 14 yards. Hilliard continued to work minimally behind Derrick Henry, and he now has exactly one rushing attempt in four of his last seven games. He did manage multiple receptions for the second consecutive game, though that's resulted in only 17 combined yards. Hilliard has value as the likely lead back if Henry were to become unavailable, though he can't be projected to get much work in the meantime.
