KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Six years after releasing Kareem Hunt in the middle of a productive season, the Kansas City Chiefs have signed the veteran running back to their practice squad.
The Chiefs were looking for help at running back after starter Isiah Pacheco broke his fibula in last week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Chiefs selected Hunt in the third round in 2017 in the same draft in which they acquired quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Hunt had a big rookie season, rushing for a league high 1,327 yards, catching 53 passes and scoring 11 touchdowns.
