Maybe he was injured but the doctors said he could play thru it with no further injuries...I have no idea but I clearly did not see the same player last year that I saw the year before...Just getting outside and exploding like before...That extra gear...
BTW thanks for backing up the stats on GIO between the tackles!!
So you're saying what you're proposing for Hill's phantom injury is that he had a 9.5 month lingering unreported injury?
Now YOU are the one who needs to read what you just typed. 9.5 months (2014 playoff game to Week 7 in 2015 because of the mention of the 6 week hitch thing) of lingering injury that goes unreported on the injury report and continues to effect another 2+ months at least? That's not a lingering injury, that'd be being hurt for almost an entire calendar year. There's no way that doesn't get reported.
Terrell Suggs returned from a torn achilles in 5 months.
Adrian Peterson tore his ACL and returned in 8.5 months to rush for just shy of 2,100 yards and win an MVP.
Yet Jeremy Hill's theoretical lingering non-reported injury took like 11.5 months in order for him to finally get a rush of 20+ yards? Thin. Real thin.

No problem with the Gio stats. Bugs me every time people bring that up. Gio is basically a Ray Rice clone, sans the wife beating, and nobody claimed Ray Rice couldn't run between the tackles.
