Kareem Hunt Returns to Chiefs' 53-Man Roster

Kareem Hunt has been re-signed and elevated to the Kansas City Chiefs' 53-man roster, marking his return to the team that released him in 2018 following a controversial incident. Hunt was initially signed to the practice squad after the injury of starting running back Isiah Pacheco, and is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs waived Keaontay Ingram to make room for Hunt, who now joins Carson Steele and Samaje Perine in the backfield. Hunt, who played for the Cleveland Browns for five seasons post-release, expressed both excitement and nervousness about his return. Despite the team's initial decision to cut him, Chiefs' coach Andy Reid indicated that Hunt has matured and is ready to contribute again.
