Browns' Nyheim Hines: Puts in limited practice
Hines (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The Browns received a jolt Wednesday with both Hines and Nick Chubb (knee) back on the practice field. It's unclear if either running back will be ready to help the league's 26th-ranked rushing offense (94.8 yards per game) in time for Sunday's game against Washington, but the presence of Hines and Chubb at practice can be taken as a positive sign. In addition to Hines and Chubb, Pierre Strong (hamstring) was back on the field Wednesday.

Browns' Nyheim Hines: Returning to practice
The Browns designated Hines (knee) for a return to practice Wednesday.
Hines is finally ready to practice again after completing his recovery from an ACL tear, which he suffered in a jet ski accident in the summer of 2023. Considering the extensive time that he's missed, Hines will likely need close to the full 21-day practice evaluation window before the Browns bring him back from the non-football injury list. Hines shouldn't be expected to play this Sunday against the Commanders.

Browns' Nyheim Hines: Getting close to return
Hines (knee) is expected to be designated to return from the non-football injury list this week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Hines has been out of action since the summer of 2023 when he suffered an ACL tear after being hit by a jet ski. However, upon his imminent designation for return, he'll be able to return to the practice field. Considering the time the NC State product has missed, it's highly unlikely he would play as soon as Sunday against the Commanders, but he'll be able to continue getting back up to speed with the team for up to 21 days before a decision on whether to activate him to the 53-man roster has to be made.

Browns' Nyheim Hines: Out until at least Week 5
Hines (knee) will open the regular season on the non-football injury list and miss a minimum of four games, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Hines suffered an ACL tear last July when he was struck by a jet ski, costing him all of the 2023 season and now part of 2024. It's unclear if he'll have a significant role once he's deemed healthy enough to play, but there's at least some chance he eventually becomes a pass-catching option and return man for the Browns this year. Hines hasn't practiced this summer and won't be eligible to play any sooner than Oct. 6 against Washington.

Browns' Nyheim Hines: Progressing through recovery
Hines is making progress in recovering from the ACL injury that kept him out for the entire 2023 season, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Hines hasn't suited up for game action since the 2022 season, and there's still no concrete timetable for his return. But Coach Kevin Stefanski struck an optimistic tone Tuesday, saying, "He's doing well and progressing well." Even when he's at 100 percent though, he'll have to fight to earn a spot on Cleveland's running back depth chart.

Browns' Nyheim Hines: Placed on NFI list
The Browns placed Hines (knee) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday.
Hines said earlier this offseason that he anticipated being ready for training camp, so it's possible he won't spend much time on the NFI list before passing his physical. The pass-catching specialist is working his way back from a left ACL tear suffered last August, and once healthy, he'll compete for a role as a return man and third-down back. Nick Chubb (knee) started camp on the active/PUP list and remains without a timetable for return, so Hines could have a real opportunity alongside Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman in the Cleveland backfield, health permitting.

Browns' Nyheim Hines: Plans to be ready for camp
Hines (knee) said Tuesday he expects to be available for the start of training camp, Camryn Justice of News 5 Cleveland reports.
Hines underwent surgery to repair his left ACL last August, then was released by the Bills in March after missing the entire 2023 season. Assuming he's indeed healthy by the start of training camp, Hines should compete for third-down snaps in the backfield and return work on special teams. With Nick Chubb working his way back from a serious knee injury of his own and no lock to be ready for Week 1, Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman are likely to operate as Cleveland's top backs to begin training camp.
