I just don’t want him scarring the rookies -

I I think we will definitely see more of Hines being used as a receiver, but I'd guess a goIod deal of that will be out of the backfield. Remember, with Luck and Rivers at QB, Hines had 63 receptions each year. We lost a solid depth player in Mack (who before injury was playing near a probowl level). Lindsay is 5'7 190 lbs. A pretty small back with quickness and speed if healthy. He hasn't done anything substantial since 2019. Ty'Son rushed for a whopping 185 yards last year. He's a bigger guy at 6'0 220 lbs. But after going undrafted, it's not like he set the world on fire. I like both signings. I won't be shocked if one or both guys make the team, nor will I be shocked if one or both guys don't make the team. Either way, they are good potential depth pieces who will make competition in camp better. We typically have a decent number of backs in training camp and I'd guess we'll keep 4. Bringing in these 2 guys helps training camp competition. I'm expecting to see Hines get more catches this year. Mostly because Ryan is the QB. Recent history shows he gets 20 more receptions if he has a qb who knows how to utilize running backs in the passing game (63 receptions with Luck and Rivers, 44 and 40 receptions with Brissett and Wentz). Recent history also shows Lindsay hasn't been very productive the past 2 years (he was 3rd string in Houston before being cut mid-season and going to Dolphins) , and Ty'Son rushed for 185 yards last year. I'm not sure where people are getting the notion that Hines is going to somehow be pushed out of the rb room because of either of these signings. -
I personally slightly prefer Emmanuel Sanders or Cole Beasley to Julio or TY. They would compliment what we have a little bit better imo.. but really I think ANY of the vets take this offense to the next level. I'm thinking Super Bowl when that happens. A vet WR makes this team as complete as it's been in a while. I'm all for letting the young guys get a shot at regular play... but you've got to compete and earn it, especially on a win-now team. I'm not too sympathetic in that regards.
