Kareem Hunt is reportedly going back to where his NFL career started.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday the Kansas City Chiefs signed the veteran running back to their practice squad after he worked out for the team. This comes after Isiah Pacheco suffered a fractured fibula against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Kansas City will likely be without Pacheco for the foreseeable future, as ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Monday the starter is expected to miss six to eight weeks.
The Chiefs are also without wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, who may miss the entire season due to a shoulder injury that requires surgery. While Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy can still anchor one of the best offenses in the league, the two-time reigning champions need more depth at the skill positions given the injuries.
