Kansas City Chiefs Promote Kareem Hunt to Active Roster

Move comes after starting RB Isiah Pacheco is placed on injured reserve with a fractured fibula.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed veteran running back Kareem Hunt to their active 53-man roster, releasing Keaontay Ingram to make space.
Hunt was initially signed to the Chiefs' practice squad last week following Pacheco's injury, which will sideline him for at least four games.
Hunt, a former Pro Bowl selection, returns to the Chiefs after being released in 2018 due to off-field issues; he spent the last five seasons with the Cleveland Browns.
Carson Steele and Samaje Perine were the primary running backs in the Chiefs' recent game against the Atlanta Falcons, with Steele handling the majority of carries.
Hunt's role in the Chiefs' backfield rotation remains uncertain, but his experience and skill set could make him a valuable addition during Pacheco's absence.
