Hill officially announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

A second-round pick of the Bengals in 2014, Hill was a workhorse through his first three NFL seasons, carrying 667 times for 2,757 yards and 29 touchdowns during that time. However, the LSU product suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the middle of the 2017 campaign and tore his ACL in Week 1 of 2018 season and hasn't played since. He attempted a comeback in 2020 but wasn't able to latch on with a team and had remained a free agent.

The Raiders released Hill on Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill's time with the Raiders amounted to three days, and this move comes on the heels of Devontae Booker being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. At the very least, Hill has proved the health of his right knee and will look to land an opportunity with another organization.

The Raiders have signed Hill to a contract, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After hosting Hill on Friday and running him through a workout, physical and COVID-19 test, Las Vegas has added another player to the running back ranks. The Raiders' backfield is led by Josh Jacobs while Jalen Richard handles pass-catching duties, but Hill nonetheless will compete for a reserve role with fellow veteran Devontae Booker (illness). Hill spent the 2019 season away from football due to his recovery from a torn right ACL.

The Raiders are expected to sign Hill to a contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill didn't play in 2019 due to his recovery from a torn ACL in his right knee. As a result, the aforementioned move is pending a physical and COVID-19 testing. If the signing goes through, he'll join a backfield led by second-year pro Josh Jacobs and complemented by receiving back Jalen Richard. Considering rookie Lynn Bowden and Devontae Booker (illness) also are in the ranks, Hill will have a difficult climb to the regular-season roster.

Hill had a recent workout with the Texans, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After back-to-back injury-plagued seasons in which he suited up for just eight games, Hill seems to have reached the end of the road in his recovery from a torn ACL in his right knee, which he sustained in Week 1 of the 2018 campaign. The Texans aren't necessarily hurting at running back, with Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson leading the way, but Hill would add valuable veteran depth if he's deemed able to contribute and earns a contract.

Hill (knee) anticipates signing with a team once he receives medical clearance, Herbie Teope of The New Orleans Advocate reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill tore the ACL in his right knee during a Week 1 game with the Patriots last season, after beating out Mike Gillislee for a roster spot. The 27-year-old running back never lived up to the promise of his impressive rookie season, but he may still have something to offer as a bruiser for short-yardage situations and clock-killing work. Even so, Hill will face an uphill battle to earn a spot on the 53-man roster if/when he signs with an NFL team.

Hill tweeted Monday that he underwent ACL reconstruction on his right knee.

EDGE Analysis

Hill suffered the ligament tear in his Patriots debut Week 1, ending his fifth pro campaign shortly after it started. The injury marked his second consecutive season-ender, and he waited nearly two months before going under the knife. Kevin Duffy of MassLive.com noted players occasionally push back surgery to "restore muscle strength/range of motion," which appears to have been the track taken by Hill. It'll be interesting to see if the delayed procedure also modifies Hill's recovery timeline, which could now extend into the 2019 season.

The Patriots will place Hill (knee) on IR, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill lands on IR after tearing his right ACL in Sunday's season-opener. Now that he's out of the mix, the Patriots' backfield is currently whittled down to the trio of Rex Burkhead, James White and Sony Michel (knee).

Hill was diagnosed Monday with a torn ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill suffered the injury shortly after halftime in Sunday's 27-20 win over Houston, finishing with four carries for 25 yards and one catch for six yards. His absence for the remainder of the season should free up a few more carries for Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel (knee). The Patriots will place Hill on injured reserve, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Hill's knee injury may be serious, WEEI.com's Ryan Hannable reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill was down on the ground for a few minutes after the suffering the injury, and the Patriots were quick to rule him out for the rest of Sunday's game against Houston. The running back then sent out a cryptic tweet, perhaps hinting at a major setback. Hill gained 25 yards on four carries and six yards on one reception in Sunday's 27-20 victory, splitting backfield snaps with Rex Burkhead and James White throughout the first half. An extended absence for Hill might help Burkhead and/or Sony Michel (knee) with workload consistency.
