For the first time in his five-year NFL career, Ronnie Hillman will be playing his home games outside of the Mile High City after the Minnesota Vikings agreed to terms with the veteran running back Wednesday.
According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Vikes head coach Mike Zimmer announced the signing.
Hillman's arrival comes on the heels of Adrian Peterson telling ESPN's Josina Anderson Wednesday he will undergo knee surgery Thursday to repair his meniscus.
Peterson may not return until December at the earliest, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, which created a need for backfield depth in Minnesota.
