The Chiefs have a new offensive weapon in their arsenal, but they kept him off the field in Week 3. Kareem Hunt is back in the organization less than six years after he was unceremoniously cut following video of a domestic violence incident surfaced. Hunt served a suspension and returned to the league as a complement to Nick Chubb in Cleveland, but he returned to where it all started after Isiah Pacheco went down with a fractured leg in Week 1.
Hunt wasn't ready to play in Week 3, according to Andy Reid. Instead, rookie Carson Steele saw the bulk of carries for the Chiefs, with Samaje Perine also in the mix. Will Hunt be ready to go against the Chargers? Here's what you need to know about Hunt's status for Week 4.
