Nyheim Hines: Set to join New Orleans
The Saints are expected to sign Hines to the practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Wednesday.Devin Neal (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets and Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) has been sidelined for the Saints' last three games, leaving Evan Hull and Audric Estime as the only healthy running backs on New Orleans' active roster. Hines appeared in three regular-season games for the Chargers earlier in the season before being cut from the practice squad in late October, but the veteran running back is poised to get another chance with the Saints. Assuming he's signed to the Saints' practice squad, he could be elevated for Week 16 to provide New Orleans another option out of the backfield and a returner on special teams.

Chargers' Nyheim Hines: Elevated to join shallow backfield
The Los Angeles Chargers have elevated Hines from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday's home game against the Vikings.Hines and Jaret Patterson have both been elevated to join a Los Angeles backfield that lacks any depth behind Kimani Vidal, with Hassan Haskins (hamstring) ruled out for Week 8, Omarion Hampton (ankle) still on IR, and Najee Harris (Achilles) out for the year. While Vidal has operated in a clear No. 1 backfield role since Hampton's injury, both Hines and Patterson could find themselves handling offensive touches if Thursday's contest turns into a run-heavy affair. Hines has been elevated for each of the Chargers' prior two games, and in both contests he contributed as a kick returner without logging a carry or target.
