Kareem Hunt - Not practicing to begin week Hunt (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Impact Hunt was one of several Browns players who recently spent time on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus, but the ankle injury was probably the bigger reason why he wasn't available to play Weeks 15 and 16. Even with a longer turnaround for Week 17, Hunt still isn't ready to resume practicing, which isn't the greatest sign for his availability Monday in Pittsburgh. That being said, head coach Kevin Stefanski said he isn't ruling Hunt out from playing against the Steelers, according to Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. That said, the running back would surely need to practice in some fashion Friday and/or Saturday to make that a reality.
