Joins Kansas City's practice squad Hunt agreed Tuesday to join the Chiefs' practice squad, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Impact After meeting with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Hunt quickly came to an agreement on a deal. Though he'll begin his second stint in the organization as a member of the practice squad, Hunt could be elevated to the active roster for this Sunday's game in Atlanta with Kansas City in need of backfield depth with lead option Isiah Pacheco (fibula) headed for a multi-week absence. Rookie Carson Steele appears to be first in line for carries, and Samaje Perine is an experienced option on passing downs, but Hunt could eventually work his way up the depth chart if he's able to quickly familiarize himself with head coach Andy Reid's playbook. Though he accounted for more than 1,200 yards from scrimmage with the Chiefs in both the 2017 and 2018 seasons before he was released in November 2018, the 29-year-old looked well removed from his prime during his time with Cleveland last season. While appearing in 15 games for the Browns in 2023, Hunt averaged career-low marks in yards per carry (3.0) and yards per reception (5.6).
