Hunt back in game after Cleveland call

-

CONTROVERS­IAL running back Kareem Hunt has signed with the Cleveland Browns.

Hunt, a Pro Bowl pick as a rookie in 2017 on his way to a repeat in 2018 with the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently on the exempt list while the NFL investigat­es an assault captured on video last February.

The incident prompted his immediate release by the Chiefs in November with Andy Reid’s team subsequent­ly losing out to the Patriots in the AFC Championsh­ip game.

It was reported that Hunt was facing a “10- or 12-game” suspension and could even be suspended for the “majority or the entire 2019 season.”
