Hunt had 1327 yds his rookie season and was on his way to that number again or higher before he left. He had 827 yds in 11 games for us.

The only question I have is the lack of a good RB the talent we have or is it because our OL isn't a great run blocking unit? I will be interested to see how Hunt runs behind this OL and that should tell us quite a bit.

Yeah, this is pretty unpopular.

Pop is clearly better than average.

That was like 5 years ago, there's been nothing since then.

I'll go ahead and say this now...as a police officer - any cop who "busts" an adult for simple possession of marijuana is a moron. Incredible waste of time and resources....make them dump it out and move on.

Sure. Did you see the post I was replying to?

Guy said there was nothing reported on him in the media after he left us and that we should expect that to change since he’s a Chief again.

How can you even follow a conversation with that few posts per page? Just a few comments and it's gone already.

The #Chiefs have signed RB Keaontay Ingram to the active roster, Kareem Hunt to the practice squad and placed RB Isiah Pacheco on Injured Reserve, among other moves.

Andy Reid said Kareem Hunt was coming off a sports hernia injury that he thinks affected his 2023 season.

There’s a chance Kareem Hunt could play against Atlanta, per Coach Reid. The plan is to bring him up to speed and see where he is as the week progresses.

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes says that he's maintained a friendship with Kareem Hunt since he left Kansas City: "At the end of the day, I root for the person. He's become a better and better person. . . I'm glad to have him back in the building."

This is going to end up being a true committee isn't it.

he may have been horrible the last 2 years... but coming back to the Chiefs is going to ignite the fire within on this guy. He's gonna pop off, at least a few times.

This is his Redemption Era.

And I'm fine with that.

Now let's consider that he only played 14 games. If we annualize that to 17 games, it's 1135yds.

Compared with other running backs who played 17 games, that's 32yds behind Derrick Henry, 13yds ahead of James Cook, 141yds ahead of Breece Hall, and 159yds ahead of Bijan Robinson.

I'm not saying he's better than those guys, but he's in the same conversation and bracket as them. And those are clear #1 RBs.

I get what you are saying and fair point. I think my view point is I am comparing him to the other very good\great RB's we have had in recent history in KC and I am a little under whelmed by him.

From what Reid said shortly ago he may not be back this year but hopefully he will get healthy and return.

Well if Mahomes believe he's a better man, then that's all we need to know.

Kareem is my early favorite for Walter Payton Man of the Year. Go ahead and write it down.

So he maybe done for the season?

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirms the obvious. Isiah Pacheco will not practice.

Pacheco is headed to injured reserve and will have surgery on Wednesday. Reid says there is no timeline, referencing that it could be "this season or next season."
