Kareem Hunt Poised for Lead Back Role if Pacheco Remains Sidelined

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is positioned to reprise his role as the team's clear lead back should Isiah Pacheco (knee) continue to miss practice and be unavailable for the upcoming game. Hunt previously demonstrated his capability in Week 9, playing 81% of the offensive snaps and handling 11 of 16 running back carries during the loss to Buffalo. His potential expanded role hinges directly on Pacheco's recovery and return to practice, making him a key player to watch in the Chiefs' backfield.
