Scores two rushing TDs Hunt carried 11 times for 71 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 49-38 win over the Cowboys.
Impact Hunt finished second on the team in carries while gashing the Dallas defense for 6.5 yards per carry. He found the end zone on a two-yard run in the second quarter and added a 14-yard score to help his side build an insurmountable lead in the third. Meanwhile, Nick Chubb (knee) left the game in the first half and did not return, opening the door for Hunt to carry more of the load. However, D'Ernest Johnson stepped in and led the team with 95 rushing yards on 13 carries, and he could be a major part of the equation next Sunday against the Colts if Chubb sits out.

Set to play in Dallas Hunt (groin) is active for the Week 4 matchup at Dallas, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact Hunt saw his only practice action of the week Friday on a limited basis, but optimistic reports started to surface very early Sunday morning. That sentiment has since been confirmed by Hunt's absence from the inactive list, and he'll once again be poised to work in tandem with Nick Chubb in the Cleveland backfield. The one thing the Dallas defense has been respectable at this year is limiting passes caught by opposing running backs, as the 11 receptions given up to the position is tied for the fourth-best mark in the league. This game has the highest over/under (approximately 56) on the entire Sunday slate, however, so there will be plenty of opportunity out there for fantasy options such as Hunt to find the end zone.

Likely good to go Week 4 Hunt (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The running back sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited session Friday, and he now appears in line to work in tandem with Nick Chubb in Week 4. Confirmation of Hunt's status will arrive upon the release of the Browns' inactive list approximately 90 minutes in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Makes positive impression Hunt (groin) looked good during individual drills that were open to the media Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Hunt sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday but returned Friday and was impressive in sessions open to onlookers. Per Cabot's description, one would not know Hunt was dealing with a groin injury. He's listed as questionable due to being labeled as a limited participant Friday, but Hunt looks like he'll be a go for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable Hunt (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys after logging a limited practice Friday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact The running back sat out practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but his return to practice Friday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- has him trending in the right direction in advance of Week 4 action.

Back at practice Hunt (groin) is participating in the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Hunt has missed two straight practices due to a groin strain, but it looks like he'll be listed as at least a 'limited' participant on Friday's final injury report. If the 25-year-old were to have his touches restricted in Dallas on Sunday, or even sit out the contest entirely, Nick Chubb would stand to see a notable uptick in his already sizeable workload.

Sidelined for another practice Hunt (groin) won't participate in Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact While the Browns don't believe Hunt's groin issue is significant, he'll be sidelined for a second straight practice on account of the injury. Starter Nick Chubb and Hunt have had a fairly even split of the backfield reps through three games, but the distribution of snaps and touches could tilt more in Chubb's favor Sunday in Dallas if the groin injury results in Hunt's workload being limited, if he's not held out of the contest entirely.

Injury not serious Hunt's groin injury is not believed to be serious and he will try to play Sunday against the Cowboys, a source told Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Impact Hunt did not practice Wednesday due to the injury. The Browns promoted Dontrell Hilliard from the practice squad Wednesday, raising some speculation about the significance of Hunt's injury.

Dealing with groin injury Hunt was held out of Wednesday's practice with a groin injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Hunt didn't show any sign of injury in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington, once again serving as the Browns' fourth-quarter closer after Nick Chubb piled up stats throughout most of the game. If the groin injury were to threaten Hunt's status for Week 4 at Dallas, the Browns might turn to Chubb for a three-down role, or else they could use D'Ernest Johnson or Dontrell Hilliard to take on some of the vacated workload. Hilliard was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, which hints at some level of concern about Hunt's availability Sunday. For what it's worth, head coach Kevin Stefanski said the running back is merely day-to-day, according to Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram.

Tallies touchdown reception Hunt rushed 16 times for 46 yards in Week 3 against Washington. He also added two receptions for 18 yards and a touchdown.
Impact Hunt accounted for 16 of the team's 37 rushing attempts, but failed to get going. However, he managed to make a pair of contributions through the air, hauling in a nine-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. He followed that up with a one-handed catch with five minutes remaining in the game to seal the victory for the Browns. Though Hunt was bottled up on the ground, he's showcased a solid floor due his involvement in the passing game, recording at least two receptions in each game this season while also finding the end zone twice through the air.
