Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Royce Freeman

Thursday, October 23, 2:50 PM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt (knee) will not practice Thursday following a bone bruise on his knee suffered against the Raiders in Week 7. The Chiefs currently rank in the middle of the pack with 123.4 rushing yards per game, as they operate a committee featuring Isiah Pacheco, Hunt, and rookie Brashard Smith. Hunt has seen 53 carries through seven games, tallying 205 yards and three touchdowns. Hunt's potential absence could be the opportunity Smith has been looking for to increase his workload. The elusive back should see extensive work in the passing game as a change-of-pace option heading into a Week 8 matchup with a Commanders defense allowing 126 rushing yards per game.

Chicago Bears running back Royce Freeman has been cut by the organization on Monday. Freeman joined the Bears practice squad in mid-December after being released by the Cleveland Browns in October. The veteran back has now been cut from the practice squad on Monday. Freeman never made it to the active roster for the Bears this season. He didn't have much of a chance to see reps with D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson getting a majority of the snaps in the backfield. Freeman will look to catch on elsewhere ahead of next season.
