And the list of injured players keeps getting long and long. So does the list of transfers. With a fractured fibula,\u00a0<strong>Isiah Pacheco<\/strong>\u00a0is ruled out for several weeks. After putting Pacheco on the Injured Reserve (IR) list,\u00a0<strong>Chiefs<\/strong>\u00a0have already moved on to the next step and brought in\u00a0<strong>Kareem Hunt<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>\u00a0is happy with the recent development.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">He said, \u201c<em>A guy that plays hard, plays physical, can catch the ball out of the backfield. He still has explosion in between the tackles.<\/em>\u201d The running back and the quarterback arrived together in the team in 2017. Hunt remained there for one more year (till 2018) before moving on to the\u00a0<strong>Browns<\/strong>. His departure wasn\u2019t on good terms.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cA guy that plays hard, plays physical, can catch the ball out of the backfield.

A video went viral in which Hunt was seen beating a woman at a Cleveland hotel. But the MVP quarterback is expecting a change of heart in his old teammate, saying, \u201c<em>At the end of the day, I root for the person. He\u2019s become a better and better person. I\u2019m glad to have him back in the building.<\/em>\u201d For now, Hunt has been added to the practice squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">A rookie sensation, Hunt was a Pro Bowler in his starting year (2017) as he had most rushing yards (1,327) in the league. In 2 years at\u00a0<a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/category\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Chiefs<\/a>, he recorded 2,151 rushing yards with 2,984 scrimmage yards.

In his comeback, he his role is more of a veteran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Head Coach\u00a0<strong>Andy Reid<\/strong>\u00a0is ready for the next moves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Everyone was asking if he would play in the week 3 games against the\u00a0<a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/category\/nfl\/atlanta-falcons\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Falcons<\/strong><\/a>. The coach clearly said that they would like to put him to practice and see how it goes. But he did mention that Hunt has a high chance of playing against Falcons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Later, he shared\u00a0<a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/tag\/patrick-mahomes\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Mahomes<\/a>\u2018 views on the RB. Stating that when they let go off of the running back; it was necessary to take care of the business. However, he talked to Brown\u2019s staff before bringing him back and feels that he has matured. Reid said, \u201c<em>He\u2019s 29 years old now, so time flies, but he\u2019s 29 years old. It looks like he\u2019s grown up some.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Chiefdom is waiting for an update. The game against Bengals was a tense one. Even the locker room needs an edge. Will Patrick Mahomes partner with Hunt to level up?
