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 know Veach doesn't like giving contracts to 29-year-olds, but I think he should make an exception with Hunt. Dude still has it, and we need what he has for the foreseeable future. [Reply]
Hopefully they get Kareem & Perine more involved in the passing game. That could help Mahomes find more of a groove with easy throws into the flat. [Reply]
87 total yards is really damn good. Literally looked like he did his first 2 years with the Chiefs. Dude is older, but only had one season with over 200 carries. Averaged less than 150 carries a season, so he should be nice and rested. [Reply]
So happy to see Kareem back home where he belongs. Also, props on Clark for giving Hunt a second chance after he said he would never play here again. Shows tremendous growth on Clark [Reply]
Hunt just jumped to the the top of the depth chart. When Pacheco comes back they can be an outstanding 1-2 punch. I still hope Steele can be a valuable piece, but Hunt is on another level. And he's likely to get better. [Reply]
Hunt is MAYBE a step or step and a half slower in terms of deep speed, but he still has good vision, balance, and burst - and those were the things that made him awesome to begin with.
He looked good today and had more than enough burst to run outside zone. And he’s still a motherfucker to tackle.
I think he can still be really productive for KC and gives them a lot more as a complement to Pacheco than anyone else on the roster. [Reply]
