With RB Isiah Pacheco expected to be sideliend 6-8 weeks, the Chiefs are bringing their former RB Kareem Hunt back to Kansas City for a Tuesday visit, per league sources. Hunt could help fill the Chiefs’ running back void. pic.twitter.com/nDzNGlrcuH
I'm curious to see Kareem in goal line & short yardage situations. I'm also curious to see Kareem as both a receiver & blocker for Mahomes in the passing game. [Reply]

I don't think there is any way Steele gets put on the practice squad. For one, he'd be claimed. Also, he's clearly their 2nd favorite back on the team. Perine and Hunt aren't going to get more playing time than him and CEH isn't going to come back and get more snaps than Steele. Steele would have to play extremely bad to get bumped down the depth chart.
Steele got 62% of the snaps last week. No way they're doing that with a rookie if they think they have a better option. [Reply]

Exactly. He was literally the starter last week, not Perine. [Reply]

What they need to do is put Mahomes under center and run it out of an I formation with Steele at the FB position and Pacheco/Hunt/Perine at HB. I can't believe we haven't seen that yet. Andy has to be saving that, because the mismatches he could get and plays he could run would make this team so much better in those situations. [Reply]
