Kareem Hunt is one half of a strong running back duo for the Kansas City Chiefs, but he's off to a rough start in 2025.
Through four games, Hunt has just 115 rushing yards, 36 receiving yards and one touchdown. It has been a rough go of it for both Chiefs backs, though, as backfield mate Isiah Pacheco has also struggled.
We're seeing more of the same for Hunt in the Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night. Here's a closer look at what the deal is.
Is Kareem Hunt playing tonight?
UPDATE: He's loose!
Hunt is off and running after breaking free for a 33-yard gain. That might be the play he needs to get going.
END OF UPDATE
Yes, Hunt is active and in the lineup, but he has seen the field sparingly and has just one carry through two drives.
Not only have the Chiefs utilized Pacheco, but Brashard Smith, also. With the rookie getting more and more involved, that's bad news for Hunt's touches moving forward.
