Hines reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Hines joined the Saints' practice squad in mid-December after spending time earlier in the season with the Chargers. He was elevated to the active roster Saturday and played nine snaps (one on offense, eight on special teams) during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Falcons, when he returned one punt for 11 yards. Hines has the versatility and experience to garner offseason interest from teams looking to add depth to their backfield who can also contribute on special teams as a returner.

Nyheim Miller-Hines: Breaking News
Elevated for Week 18
The Saints elevated Hines from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Hines is set to participate in his first game for the Saints this season, serving as the No. 3 running back due to the absence of Alvin Kamara (MCL). Audric Estime will likely see the most offensive snaps, with Evan Hull and Hines receiving rotational snaps when it is deemed necessary.
Signs with New Orleans
The Saints signed Hines to the practice squad Thursday, John Sigler of SaintsWire reports. Hines has appeared in three games this season for the Chargers, where he totalled two rushing attempts for a loss of two yards. The veteran is also a useful kick returner, racking up 195 return yards through his three appearances. Hines will likely be elevated for Sunday's game against the Jets and serve as the No. 3 running back behind Evan Hull and Audric Estime.
