Hines reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.

Hines was elevated to the active roster for a second straight game in Week 7, playing just one snap with the offense in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts. The running back instead made his biggest mark on special teams, where he returned four kickoffs for 98 yards. With Hassan Haskins (hamstring) listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Hines could be a candidate for elevation again in Week 8 with the Chargers facing the Vikings on Thursday.
