  "account": "On August 25, the Detroit Lions welcomed back former Pro Bowl running back Kareem Hunt. The 31-year-old Toledo alumnus, who played for the Kansas City Chiefs for his first and final stints, visited the team on Tuesday. During his tenure with the Chiefs from 2016 to 2017, Hunt appeared in all 17 games, rushing for a total of 611 yards and scoring eight touchdowns, while maintaining an average of 3.7 yards per carry. He made the Pro Bowl and was the runner-up for Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2017. The Lions have recently bolstered their running back depth with multiple signings, including Roydell Williams and Raheem Blackshear. However, backup Isiah Pacheco has been sidelined since early August due to an MCL sprain, and Kye Robichaux was waived after suffering a foot fracture in the preseason opener. Other running backs currently on the team include Jahmyr Gibbs, Roydell Williams, Trayveon Williams, Jacob Saylors, and recently returned Sione Vaki.",
