The Kansas City Chiefs have announced the signing of former star running back Kareem Hunt to their practice squad following the injury of starter Isiah Pacheco, who suffered a fractured fibula in Week 2 against the Bengals. Pacheco is expected to be placed on injured reserve, prompting the Chiefs to bring back Hunt as a necessary addition to their roster. This move not only marks Hunt’s return to Kansas City, where he had a standout career before his release in 2018, but also raises questions about the roles of current running backs Carson Steele and Samaje Perine in light of Pacheco's absence. Head coach Andy Reid expressed the team's response to the situation, referencing the emotional impact of Pacheco's injury on the player. The Chiefs continue to adjust their lineup as they aim for a third consecutive Super Bowl title.
