Hillis had surgery Dec. 12 to repair the torn muscle, five days after suffering the season-ending injury in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Hillis, who said he has been able to do some light jogging, said he is unsure how coaches plan to use him in the new offense -- one with three new tailbacks (Correll Buckhalter, LaMont Jordan and J.J. Arrington). "I have no idea. I've been through this so many times, I'm just trying to look at it as a positive experience," he said.
