Hilliard (neck) remains a free agent a week before the start of NFL training camps, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hilliard went into last season as Tennessee's passing-down back and caught a pair of TD passes Week 1, but he was mostly quiet thereafter and eventually missed the final four games with a neck injury that sent him to injured reserve. He did well with his limited touches, averaging 6.6 yards on 22 carries and 6.8 yards on 26 targets, so the 28-year-old should at least get the chance to compete for a backup role this summer if he's healthy and wants to continue his career.

In his second season with the Titans in 2022, Hilliard handled a change-of-pace role behind featured back Derrick Henry. While doing so, Hilliard carried 22 times for 145 yards and caught 21 of his 26 targets for 177 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games before winding up on injured reserve due to a neck issue that he sustained Week 14. With Tennessee having drafted Tyjae Spears in April, Hilliard now is looking to catch on with another team as a depth option. Though the 28-year-old has just 100 carries in 52 career contests, his YPC during that span is 5.9.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Strangely absent late
Hilliard wasn't used on Tennessee's last drive in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants, and coach Mike Vrabel described him as unavailable during that time but not injured, Titans Insider Paul Kuharsky reports.
ANALYSIS
Vrabel didn't extrapolate on the reason for Hilliard's absence in a situation that seemed tailor-made for the receiving back's skill set, while Hilliard claimed that he was ready to go if called upon after scoring two touchdowns earlier in the game. The Titans worked the ball into field-goal range while using Hassan Haskins on the final drive, but kicker Randy Bullock missed a 47-yard field goal as time expired to lose the game.
