Overview
- Kareem Hunt visited the Lions’ facility for a workout on Tuesday and left without signing a contract.
- Detroit pursued the audition after trading David Montgomery and while Isiah Pacheco has been sidelined by an MCL sprain that has kept him out for roughly two weeks.
- Hunt’s 2025 production included 163 carries for 611 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, and he converted 34 of 40 short-yardage attempts, making him a proven option in short-yardage and goal-line situations.
- The team’s evaluation will weigh Hunt’s recent play against his 2018 off-field assault incident that led to his release from Kansas City.
- The Lions are continuing to test both veteran and younger backs in the final preseason days and any signing would be aimed at shoring up Week 1 depth behind Gibbs while Pacheco’s recovery is monitored.
