Packers rookie running back Kylin Hill will miss the rest of the 2021 season due to the knee injury that occurred on a kickoff against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Hill, who was a rotational running back, saw the majority of his playing time on special teams, where he was the team’s starting kick returner.
Hill had a promising preseason for a seventh-round pick but was buried behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon in the backfield, resulting in him only having 10 of the unit’s 182 carries up to this point in the season.
