BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have lost a key special teams player and an offensive weapon before training camp even gets started. Running Nyheim Hines has suffered what is expected to be a season-ending knee injury away from the team's facility, per a source.
Hines, 26, was set to go into camp as the team's primary kick and punt returner and compete for opportunities at running back with Damien Harris and Latavius Murray, who were both acquired this offseason. The Bills traded for Hines at the trade deadline last year in exchange for sending running back Zack Moss and what turned into a fifth-round pick.
