Hillman had four carries for 15 yards and two receptions for nine yards on five targets in Monday's loss to Chicago.
With Jerick McKinnon missing the game with an ankle injury, Hillman served as the backup to Matt Asiata. Hillman played 18 snaps on offense to Asiata's 43 snaps. Hillman will likely fall back to the third running back when McKinnon returns, but there's still opportunity for his role to grow given that neither McKinnon nor Asiata has been a star with Adrian Peterson out.
