Ronnie Hillman: Released by Cowboys
Ronnie Hillman was officially cut by the Cowboys on Friday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.Given the Cowboys' depth at the running back position, it would have taken an impressive camp from Hillman for him to latch on with the team beyond the preseason. That didn't happen, so he's now free to find a job with another club.

Cowboys' Ronnie Hillman: Quiet against Rams
Ronnie Hillman had one carry for no gain and two catches for 15 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.Hillman served as the No. 4 running back, playing much of the fourth quarter. He seems to be competing with Rod Smith for the third spot on the depth chart while Ezekiel Elliott is suspended. Smith also had a quiet night, gaining two yards on one carry and five yards on one reception. With Elliott appealing his suspension, there's no guarantee either Hillman or Smith makes the Week 1 roster.

Cowboys' Ronnie Hillman: Struggles in Dallas debut
Ronnie Hillman gained five yards on six carries and didn't draw any targets in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against Arizona.In addition to the poor stat line, Hillman worked behind Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris and Rod Smith, suggesting the Dallas Cowboys' recent addition is a long shot to make the roster. While he still has more time to prove himself during camp and the preseason, Hillman seems to be No. 5 in the backfield pecking order right now.

Ronnie Hillman: Trying out for Cowboys
The Cowboys brought Ronnie Hillman in for a workout this week, ESPN's Field Yates reports.Along with Hillman, the Cowboys gave former Jaguars running back Denard Robinson a tryout too as it seems Dallas management is seriously bracing for the possibility of an Ezekiel Elliott suspension. A 2012 third-round pick of the Broncos, Hillman split time last season with the Chargers and Vikings, finishing the year with 131 rushing yards on 41 carries (3.19 YPC).

Chargers' Ronnie Hillman: Finishes the year with over 200 total yards
Ronnie Hillman finished the season with 131 rushing yards and 93 receiving yards playing parts of the year with the Vikings and the San Diego Chargers.Hillman joined the Chargers late in the season and immediately became a factor following injuries to Melvin Gordon (hip/knee) and Kenneth Farrow (shoulder). While the journeyman running back likely doesn't factor into the organization's long-term plans given the emergence of Gordon, Hillman played well enough through the final few weeks to at least warrant interest from other teams during the offseason. There's even a possibility Hillman could return to the Chargers, given that both Branden Oliver and Danny Woodhead are unrestricted free agents this offseason, but even a return to his current team would not necessarily guarantee fantasy relevance next year.

Chargers' Ronnie Hillman: Totals 91 yards in losing effort
Ronnie Hillman nabbed three of six targets for 50 yards and added 41 yards on seven carries in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.Hillman did a bunch of damage on chunk plays on Sunday, three of his 10 touches going for 15 yards or more. The pint-sized speedster has floated around Minnesota and San Diego this season, but Sunday served as a reminder that he was talented enough to lead Denver in rushing last season. His future with the San Diego Chargers is likely tied to the future of his former offensive coordinator in Denver, San Diego head coach Mike McCoy.

Chargers' Ronnie Hillman: Likely to get the start Sunday
With Melvin Gordon (knee/hip) ruled out, Ronnie Hillman figures to get the start Sunday against the Chiefs.Hillman has played sparingly since joining the San Diego Chargers, but the veteran running back will get plenty of opportunities Sunday with Gordon and Kenneth Farrow (shoulder) done for the season. While there's a chance the Chargers opt to use former Giants' running back Andre Williams as an early-down back, Hillman had been seeing time in passing downs already and appears to have a better grasp of the playbook, given that Williams had been toiling away on the Chargers' practice squad prior to his call-up this week. Against a mediocre Chiefs' run defense, Hillman figures to put up enough numbers for a desperate owner to justify using in a standard league.

Chargers' Ronnie Hillman: Could see expanded role in Week 17
With Melvin Gordon (hip/knee) day-to-dayand Kenneth Farrow (shoulder) on IR, Ronnie Hillman could be in for an expanded role in Sunday's season finale against the Chiefs.Hillman carried nine times for just six yards and did not catch a pass in Saturday's loss to the Browns, but if Gordon can't play Sunday, Hillman would be placed in a position where he could bounce back in some fashion in Week 17, simply based on necessity.

Chargers' Ronnie Hillman: Awful in Week 16 loss
Ronnie Hillman rushed nine times for six yards, and failed to haul in either of his two targets in Saturday's 20-17 loss to the Browns.Hillman took the reins in the backfield for a while as Kenneth Farrow exited briefly due to a shoulder injury, and otherwise split snaps with the rookie throughout. His extra playing time with starter Melvin Gordon (hip/knee) out didn't amount to anything, though, as the journeyman running back managed a disastrous 0.7 yards per attempt against the league's second-worst run defense.

Chargers' Ronnie Hillman: To share backfield snaps
Ronnie Hillman is expected to work in committee with Kenneth Farrow with Melvin Gordon (hip/knee) sidelined Saturday against the Browns, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.Hillman gained 34 yards on his seven carries in Gordon's absence last weekend, nearly outperforming Farrow despite playing 28 fewer snaps. After Farrow also fumbled in his expanded role, Hillman should be even more involved Saturday, when facing a putrid Browns defense also bodes in his favor.
