His signing was necessitated with starting running back\u00a0Isiah Pacheco<\/a>\u00a0heading to injured reserve,\u00a0per CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones<\/a><\/span>, with a fibula injury that will reportedly cost him the next six to eight weeks. Hunt was cut by the Chiefs in 2018, a year after leading the NFL in rushing yards (1,327) as a rookie in 2017 after a\u00a0video of him kicking a woman in hotel surfaced<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

He has spent the last four seasons with the\u00a0Cleveland Browns<\/a>‘ serving as the Robin to\u00a0Nick Chubb’s<\/a>\u00a0Batman. Hunt totaled 2,285 yards and 25 touchdowns with a 4.0 yards-per-carry average in Cleveland. He also caught 147 passes for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns. Hunt ran for 411 yards and a career-high nine rushing touchdowns in 2023 while splitting time with\u00a0Jerome Ford<\/a>\u00a0after Chubb’s gruesome knee injury in Pittsburgh. He did average a career-low three yards per carry that season on 135 carries.<\/p>\n
