Chiefs add another Hunt to stable of running backs

Well, the Chiefs certainly have no shortage of Hunts at the running-back position now.

On Tuesday, the club added speedster and special-teams contributor Akeem Hunt — formerly of the Houston Texans — to their practice squad, a source confirmed to The Star.

The Houston Chronicle reported the news first.

Hunt, 24, will join a franchise that already includes rookie Kareem Hunt, who is expected to make his first career NFL start Thursday against the New England Patriots.

Akeem Hunt went undrafted out of Purdue in 2015 but has appeared in 15 games the last two years with the Texans.
