The Indianapolis Colts reportedly will receive Buffalo’s fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to complete the Nov. 1 trade of running back Nyheim Hines to the Bills.
At the time of the deal, it was announced that the Bills were sending running back Zack Moss and a conditional sixth-round pick to the Colts.
The undisclosed conditions required for that pick to increase to a fifth-rounder were met, The Athletic reported on Thursday.
Hines, 26, played mostly on special teams for Buffalo. He rushed six times for minus-3 yards and caught five passes for 53 yards and one touchdown in nine regular-season games for the Bills. He also averaged 29.2 yards per kickoff return and 9.6 yards per punt return after the trade.
In a memorable Week 18 performance against New England — Buffalo’s first action since Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field — Hines returned the opening kickoff and a third-quarter kickoff for touchdowns in a 35-23 win.
A fourth-round pick by the Colts in 2018, Hines has accumulated 4,823 all-purpose yards with 22 touchdowns in 81 games (17 starts) for Indianapolis and Buffalo.
