I never thought this day would come, but here we are.
The Kansas City Chiefs made a quick and pretty strong move (at least in terms of media hype) to replace their injured star running back. Isaiah Pacheco.
According to NFL.comthe back-to-back Super Bowl champions will be reunited with the former Kansas City star running back. Kareem Huntsigned a contract to join the practice squad. Following the news that Pacheco would be out with a fibula injury, 6–8 weeksHunt visited the Chiefs on Tuesday. Pacheco was injured Sunday in a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hunt was selected by Kansas City in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft but was released midway through the 2018 season (his second year). video Footage has surfaced of him allegedly being violent towards a woman.
Hunt spent the past five seasons with the Cleveland Browns and was an elite player with the Chiefs in 2017, leading the NFL in rushing yards with 1,327 and earning a Pro Bowl selection with 455 receiving yards.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Kareem Hunt's past actions, but he just didn't look good in a Chiefs uniform…it almost feels like he was destined to be in Kansas City.
Good for him. Hopefully this helps my fantasy football team (my quarterback) in some way. Patrick Mahomes Last week it stumped me.
