The Chiefs have made room for former star running back Kareem Hunt to rejoin the team for Week 4 against the Chargers by waiving Keaontay Ingram. Hunt’s return has been anticipated, and now he’s officially back on the active roster. Many fans have been eager for this reunion since Hunt’s departure following a domestic violence incident and dishonesty with the team. After rehabilitating his image, Kansas City is comfortable bringing him back.
Carson Steele is expected to remain the starting running back after a solid performance against the Falcons, but Hunt could eventually take over with his dual-threat skills. With Isiah Pacheco injured, the Chiefs’ running back situation is uncertain. Steele handles early-down work while Samaje Perine manages passing downs, leaving Hunt’s role unclear for now. He’s likely to get limited touches in Week 4, with more potential in Week 5, as the team will fully reassess after their Week 6 bye. Hunt now has an opportunity to shine back in Kansas City.
