KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After Kareem Hunt was released by Kansas City in 2018 after video showed him pushing a woman to the ground and kicking her , it appeared he would never don a Chiefs uniform again.
Well, never say never.
In a surprising move, the Chiefs signed Hunt to their practice squad on Tuesday to help fill in for Isiah Pacheco, who fractured his fibula vs. the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.

In the six years since Hunt’s departure from the team, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he was a changed man.
“He needed a change of scenery and get some help and take care of business there,” Reid told reporters on Wednesday. “We felt like he did that. He did a nice job in Cleveland and we talked to people there, and there were no issues there.
“We felt okay by bringing him back, he’s 29 years old now. It looks like he’s grown up some,” Reid continued.
Reid said the Chiefs called around to make sure everything was going well with Hunt and that the Browns front office spoke highly of him.
