The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former running back Kareem Hunt to their practice squad following the injury of starting running back Isiah Pacheco, who is expected to miss six to eight weeks. Coach Andy Reid defended the decision to bring back Hunt, citing a positive report from the Browns and suggesting that Hunt has matured since his past transgressions. The Chiefs initially released Hunt in 2018 after a video surfaced showing him assaulting a woman, an incident that contradicted his account at the time. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed a complex perspective on the situation, acknowledging his friendship with Hunt while also condemning his past actions. Hunt's return marks a potential boost to the Chiefs' rushing game, which has been impacted by Pacheco's absence. Despite mixed feelings about his return, the Chiefs are in need of a seasoned replacement as they navigate the challenges ahead.
