Veteran Running Back Kareem Hunt Visits Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions welcomed veteran free-agent running back Kareem Hunt for a workout on Tuesday, according to reports.
The Detroit Lions welcomed former Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt for a workout session on Tuesday, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Hunt played in 17 games for the Chiefs last season, amassing 611 rushing yards and scoring eight touchdowns while also catching 18 passes for 143 yards and another score. Currently, the Lions boast their star running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who recently secured the title of the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
Backup running back Isiah Pacheco, another ex-Chief, is currently out with a sprained MCL injury sustained earlier this month. Hunt, 31, is actively seeking a new team as he embarks on his 10th NFL season. His most successful career year was his rookie campaign with the Chiefs, when he led the league in rushing yards with 1,327 and earned his sole Pro Bowl selection.
The Lions will play their final preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday before kicking off their regular season with a Week 1 showdown against the New Orleans Saints on September 13.
