The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt to their practice squad. This move aims to address the team’s injury-plagued backfield, particularly after Isiah Pacheco’s recent injury.
According to NFL analyst Tom Pelissero, Hunt, who was the Chiefs’ 2017 third-round pick, was brought in for a workout. This reunion of sorts can be seen as a “homecoming” for Hunt, returning to the team where his NFL career began.

Hunt’s addition to the practice squad provides the Chiefs with much-needed depth at running back. With Pacheco sidelined, Hunt may see playing time soon, offering an experienced option for the Chiefs’ offense.
The 29-year-old Hunt spent three seasons with the Chiefs (2017-2019) before joining the Browns in 2020. His familiarity with the Chiefs’ system and coaches could facilitate a smooth transition, making him a valuable asset as the team navigates its injury challenges.
