Kylin out for season…

[tynimiller]

I really liked this kid. Here’s to hoping recovery goes well and he is battling again proving what and who he is next year.

Packers RB Kylin Hill suffered season-ending knee injury vs. Cardinals

The rookie season of Green Bay Packers running back and kick returner Kylin Hill is over. Hill, the team's seventh-round pick, suffered a season-ending knee injury while returning a kickoff during the second half of the Packers' win over the Cardinals on Thursday…

Gotta find another back.

Gotta find another back.

Patrick Taylor will be elevated. I bet we add one tho to PS for sure

 

[Budman]

I really liked him too. Was hoping to see his growth but I sure wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[Pkrjones]

Wish him well in his surgery & recovery. Hopefully be ready for later training camp, '22, or PUP into early next season?

Tonyan to get MRI today. IF IR necessary would love it if Gute signed off of PS: Kahale Warring (Buffalo) or Tanner Hudson (SF). Already have Lewis, Deguara, Dafney & Tyler Davis but if another receiving TE I like those 2 above.

 

[Sunshinepacker]

He was a guy that I was really rooting for. Hope he comes back 100% next season.

Is Sternberger on a practice squad still, he might be an option.

On Washington's active roster. Would STILL rather have Warring or Hudson.

Hill made a bad decision on that play, hope both guys recover! I’m a P. Taylor fan being from Memphis originally, I hope he gets some play on S.Teams.

If on active roster doesn’t matter much anyway. I hope RT is not done for the year. Trade Love for a good one

That hit made me cringe, especially when they showed Kylin's leg bend forward. Lots of injuries on both teams last night. Everyone was out there playing their best, which was great to watch, but sad for those that didn't make it through healthy.

Tyler Ervin is still a FA no?

If they are thinking returning he could be the guy to pick up as well

Ervin (28 yrs old) was only available for 8 games in '20 (rib injury?), would hope to find a young, hungry guy with more durability?

 

[OldSchool101]

That sucks. That looked painful

Poker. Watch them call Dexter and put him on PS. Then elevate Taylor.

I think Begelton could do the job. I’m surprised he didn’t already get signed to PS. He has familiarity with our system and can return better than anyone we currently have. Plus he’s on the cheap.

 

[El Guapo]

Thinking back on it, I still don't know what Hill was thinking on that return. Not to kick a guy while he is down, but he brought one out of the endzone. That itself is not always a problem, but you'd better be sure that you are at least going to get out to the 25yd line. The Cardinals' RB made the hit at the 8yd line....and there was a second defender within a few yards. He shouldn't have brought the ball out.

Second, if someone is running straight at you....make a move! It is almost as if Hill didn't see these guys. Unfortunately Hill now has an entire year to think about those bad decisions as he rehabs. He never returned a punt or kick in college, so this is all new to him. The NFL brings a lot of hard lessons at your real quick.

You have that in Patrick Taylor. Ervin is who you call if you want ST returning as part of it

That play was surreal to me. I saw him take the ball about 4 yards deep and I thought..."run it out." So he starts trucking it out of the endzone and picking up speed. And then I see some tackler going fast and free around the 15 or 17 yard line I think. And Kylin running straight ahead. And I was just amazed. Neither one of them made a move left or right. Kylin had to see that a tackler was coming right at him. It was like watching a train wreck. Why he did not swerve/cut I'll never know.

 

[Spanky]

Sucks for him.

Next man up.

Tonyan's absence will be much more impactful unless the Packers swing a trade.

 

[Deleted member 6794]

As long as Jones and Dillon stay healthy the Packers will be fine by elevanting Taylor from the practice squad.

They need to find someone capable of returning kickoffs though.

 

[Sanguine camper]

Unless the Packers find a capable returner, teams will deliberately make short kickoffs to force the Packers to return the kick, hoping that they don't reach the 25 yard line.

They always have Cobb available. Didn't Alexander do it in the preseason?

 

[lambeaulambo]

Like what I saw in Taylor...bigger body, decent burst. Ervin would be a good addition if healthy too. Feel bad for Hill, he got smoked so hard I worried about both involved in that collision.

If I remember correctly, he stumbled a bit just coming out of the endzone, so maybe couldn't see the tackler, or couldn't change direction

Cobb hasn't returned a kickoff since the 2014 season.

Alexander actually returned four punts in the regular season in 2018 but was never used on kickoffs. I definitely don't want the Packers to use him in that capacity now, especially coming of a significant shoulder injury.
