But if Hill isn't hurt or traded, I am going to give an ejukated guess that Mixon gets around 10 carries at most, as Hill gets the rest. Gio will be the primary 3rd down back if fully recovered.

The biggest reason for that guess basically depends on Hill knowing the offense better from audibles to picking up pass rushers.

I do not see Hill being cut in any scenario either, as it makes little sense to do so when all you have is Gio left.

I think Gio will get most of the third and long snaps, as well as those when we are inside our own 20.  I think Hill and Mixon will split the medium and short yardage snaps.
