KAREEM HUNT NEWS

Leads three-way backfield split Hunt rushed the ball 14 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Seahawks. He added one reception for 12 yards.

Impact Hunt split carries three ways with Pierre Strong and Jerome Ford, though he managed to lead the way with 15 total touches. He wasn't particularly efficient on the ground as he failed to crack a gain of double-digit yards, though he turned in a decent fantasy performance thanks to a one-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter. Hunt could continue to lead the backfield as long as Ford is bothered by an ankle injury, though it's unlikely he'll see a full workhorse role at any point this season.

Receives green light for Sunday Hunt (thigh) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact A true game-time decision heading into last week's game against the Colts while nursing the same injury, Hunt suited up and carried 10 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns while failing to haul in his lone target in the Browns' 39-38 win. Though he never managed anything more than limited participation in practice this week, Hunt could be headed for his largest workload of the season after playing no more than 26 snaps on offense in any of his previous four appearances. Top back Jerome Ford is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but after exiting the win over the Colts with a high-ankle sprain and missing practices Wednesday and Thursday before taking part in Friday's session as a limited participant, he could have his snaps monitored carefully even if he plays. Hunt thus profiles as a stronger fantasy option than usual if Ford suits up, though managers would be able to include Hunt in lineups with an even greater degree of confidence if Ford is deemed inactive ahead of the Browns' 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Officially limited Thursday Hunt (thigh) was limited at Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Hunt joined Jerome Ford as a non-participant Wednesday due to a thigh injury, but the former managed to log some on-field work one day later. With Ford expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks due to a high right-ankle sprain, Hunt is the top candidate to produce in his stead, assuming he's able to suit up. Hunt's listing on Friday's practice report will reveal his chances to play Sunday at Seattle.

Back at practice Hunt (thigh) returned to practice Thursday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After he missed practice Wednesday, Hunt's return to Thursday's session has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Assuming he's active this weekend, he could be busy Week 8 with Jerome Ford (ankle) a candidate to be unavailable.

Won't practice Wednesday Hunt (thigh) isn't in line to practice Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hunt's Week 8 status gains added import with lead back Jerome Ford (ankle) expected to miss a week or two due to the injury he suffered in this past Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts, per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com. Due to the thigh injury of his own, Hunt was viewed as a game-time decision heading into the Week 7 contest, but he suited up and took 10 carries for 31 yards and two touchdowns while failing to secure his lone target. The Browns likely didn't plan to lean on Hunt as heavily had Ford not exited the contest early, as Hunt ended up splitting snaps with third-stringer Pierre Strong following Ford's departure even though the game was competitive throughout. Hunt now has two more chances to return to practice ahead of this Sunday's game against the Seahawks, though head coach Kevin Stefanski told Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram on Wednesday that he expects Hunt to be available this weekend.

Likely Week 8 starter Hunt is expected to serve as the starting running back Week 8 against the Seahawks, as Jerome Ford (ankle) will be unavailable, Zac Jackson and Nando Di Fino of The Athletic report...

Impact Ford will miss 1-to-2 weeks after leaving Sunday's win over Indianapolis. Without Ford, the Browns rolled with a nearly even split of Hunt (19 snaps) and Pierre Strong (23). Hunt, who joined Cleveland during Week 3, may not be ready for a full-time workload, but his three touchdowns the last two weeks puts him on the fantasy radar.

Finds end zone twice Hunt rushed the ball 10 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts. He did not record a reception on one target.

Impact Hunt spent most of the game as the complementary option to Jerome Ford (ankle), the latter of whom exited the game early in the fourth quarter. Hunt saw only two carries thereafter, one of which went for the game-winning touchdown. Ford was spotted with a boot on his right ankle after the game, meaning it's possible that Hunt will lead the backfield for a Week 8 matchup against the Seahawks. Even if that's the case, he's shown little efficiency with his work to this point by averaging only 3.2 yards per carry on 32 attempts this season.

Cleared to play Sunday Hunt (thigh) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Hunt had been listed as questionable and looked like a true game-time decision heading into Sunday after he had his practice reps limited throughout the week while he managed a thigh strain, but he showed enough in pregame warmups for the Browns to give him the green light to play. Though Hunt grinded out 47 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries to go with three catches for 24 yards in last week's win over the 49ers, he could see his role scaled back a bit this Sunday while he manages the injury. In addition to Hunt and starter Jerome Ford, the Browns are keeping two other running backs active against the Colts in Pierre Strong and Deon Jackson.

Looks like true game-time decision Hunt (thigh) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Hunt is officially listed as questionable due to a thigh injury, but the Browns appear set to wait and see how he fares during a pregame workout before a determination is made on his availability. Jerome Ford will likely be the favorite to lead Cleveland's backfield no matter the case, but Hunt piled up 71 yards from scrimmage plus a score on 15 touches versus the 49ers in Week 6. Official word on Hunt's status will arrive when Cleveland releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Week 7 Hunt (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Hunt had his practice reps capped throughout the week by a thigh injury. If he's able to play Sunday, he likely will continue to cede the majority of backfield touches to Jerome Ford, though Hunt made the most of his 37 percent snap share in last week's win over the 49ers, racking up 71 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 15 touches.

Returns to practice Hunt (thigh) returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Hunt missed practice Wednesday after logging season highs for carries (12), touches (15), yards (71) and snap share (37 percent) in a 19-17 win over the 49ers this past Sunday. Jerome Ford still led the team in carries (18) and rushing yards (87), but it's possible Hunt's share of the backfield continues to grow moving forward. The 28-year-old appears on track to play this Sunday against the Colts following his Thursday return to practice.

Not practicing Wednesday Hunt won't practice Wednesday due to a thigh injury, Scott Petrak of the Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Hunt set a season high with 12 carries in last week's win over the 49ers and also found the end zone, but he opens up Week 7 prep with an absence at practice. The veteran running back will have two more opportunities to return to practice this week, and if Hunt is ultimately able to play Sunday against the Colts, he'll likely fill a change-of-pace role behind Jerome Ford in the Browns backfield.
