Will Kareem Hunt play vs. Buccaneers? Injury updates for Chiefs RB

Running back Kareem Hunt has been on the Kansas City Chiefs’ injury report for the past two weeks.

This didn’t stop him from scoring a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders in Kansas City’s last game, and Hunt managed to participate in all of the Chiefs’ practices ahead of their matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Monday Night Football.”

Kareem Hunt injury update

Hunt was listed with a quad injury this week, and was limited in practice on Thursday but was upgraded to full participation on Friday and Saturday.

He is expected to play against Tampa Bay on Monday night.

How long will Kareem Hunt be out?

Hunt is expected to play against the Buccaneers and doesn’t seem like he will miss time due to his quad injury. It is unclear how the injury will affect his availability moving forward but, for now, he is healthy enough to play.

Chiefs RB depth chart

If Hunt needs to leave Monday night’s game, his backup is veteran rusher Samaje Perine. The third-string running back is rookie Carson Steele who impressed Chiefs fans in the preseason.
