Hillman totaled 45 yards and a touchdown off of just five carries in Saturday's win over Los Angeles.
Hillman has been written off in recent weeks under the assumption that he'll be the odd man out once final roster decisions are made. That might still be the case, but the speedster zig-zagged around the Rams' defensive front for an impressive nine yards per carry - his best performance of the preseason. He still faces stiff competition in Kapri Bibbs, a younger, cheaper player who offers more on special teams, but Hillman will likely have plenty of opportunities to prove that he's worth keeping around with the backups getting most of the reps against Arizona on Thursday.
