Overview
- The Detroit Lions hosted veteran running back Kareem Hunt for a workout on Tuesday and he left the team's facility without signing a contract.
- Detroit has already committed to Jahmyr Gibbs as its lead back after giving him a top running-back extension, so any addition would be for complementary depth.
- Hunt's 2025 season was modest, with 163 carries for 611 yards and eight rushing touchdowns plus 18 catches for 143 yards, and he has drawn limited free-agent interest.
- Bringing Hunt in lets the Lions compare an experienced short-term option against younger, longer-term alternatives as they finish preseason roster evaluations.
- The outcome could affect final roster spots and playing roles behind Gibbs, and the club may either sign a veteran like Hunt or keep faith in its younger depth pieces before the regular season.
