Yahoo Sports NFL on Kareem Hunt
From the article
the Detroit Lions hosted former Pro Bowl running Kareem Hunt at the team facility on Tuesday, per the NFL transaction list. Detroit did recently lose two running backs in their latest preseason game. Raheem Blackshear was placed on injured reserved and promptly released with an injury settlement, while Jabari Small suffered a concussion against the Commanders.
STACKED’s take
Hunt visited Lions facility amid RB depth concerns after recent injuries to Blackshear and Small.
The Lions hosted Hunt for a visit on Tuesday, signaling potential interest in adding depth at running back; Hunt is a former Pro Bowl third-round pick (2017) who had his best season as a rookie with 1,327 rushing yards, eight touchdowns, and 4.9 yards per carry with Kansas City. He has since dealt with injuries and off-field issues, but returned to the Chiefs in 2024 and rushed for 611 yards, 3.7 yards per carry, and eight touchdowns—outpacing new Lions RB Isiah Pacheco (462 yards, one rushing touchdown despite 12 starts). The Lions' interest may stem from recent running back injuries: Raheem Blackshear was placed on injured reserve and released, while Jabari Small suffered a concussion.
