The Kansas City Chiefs have been trying to accelerate the learning process for rookie running back Kareem Hunt, to a reasonable extent. He received a most important lesson in Friday night's 26-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks when starting running back Spencer Ware left the game in the first quarter because of a right-knee injury and didn't return.
"For a young guy, you always tell them you're one play away from being in there as the guy," coach Andy Reid said. "He got that [message] firsthand."
Ware's injury makes Hunt the regular featured back.
