KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Kareem Hunt, who was added to the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad this week, will not play in Sunday night’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, coach Andy Reid said Friday.

“We’ll see how it goes next week and where he’s at,” Reid said. “He’s had a lot of reps with a scout team this week, so that was good for him to get in there, run around and get back to the football side of things.

“He did (well). He’s in reasonable shape now. He’s got to get a chance to play a football game somewhere to tell the rest, but he came in good shape, so that’s a plus.”

The Chiefs will go with undrafted rookie Carson Steele, veteran Samaje Perine and Keaontay Ingram (promoted from the practice squad this week) at running back against the Falcons. The Chiefs signed Hunt to the practice squad after losing Isiah Pacheco to a fractured fibula. Pacheco was placed on the injured list this week.

The Chiefs selected Hunt in the third round in 2017, the same draft in which they took Patrick Mahomes. Hunt had a stellar rookie season, rushing for a league-high 1,327 yards, catching 53 passes and scoring 11 touchdowns.

He was well on his way to another 1,000-yard season in 2018 when video surfaced of him pushing a woman outside his home. The NFL subsequently placed Hunt on the commissioner’s exempt list. The Chiefs released Hunt, saying he had not been truthful when questioned about the incident.

Hunt, 29, has played for the Browns in his hometown of Cleveland for the past five seasons. His most productive season came in 2020, when he rushed for 841 yards and caught 38 passes.

Last season, Hunt rushed for 411 yards and caught 15 passes.
