KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Walking out of the team's practice facility for the last time as a member of the Chiefs in 2018, running back Kareem Hunt didn't dare dream that he would ever return.
So it was still with a sense of surprise, more than a week after he rejoined the Chiefs, that he was back. «It's crazy how some things happened to work out,» Hunt said. «It was a lot, honestly.
It was a lot of emotions. I was very excited, a little nervous and stuff like that, [but] these guys know me. I've just got to go and be myself.» The Chiefs activated Hunt to the active roster after a week on the practice squad, and coach Andy Reid said Hunt would play in Sunday's game against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
Indeed, Hunt's return to the Chiefs is quite a twist. The team released him in the middle of the 2018 season when a video surfaced showing Hunt kicking and shoving a woman outside his residence.
