The Kansas City Chiefs signed Kareem Hunt to the 53-man active roster and waived fellow running back Keaontay Ingram on Tuesday.

The Chiefs had signed Hunt, who was a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie with Kansas City in 2017, to the practice squad last Wednesday when starter Isiah Pacheco went on injured reserve with a fractured fibula. Pacheco will be out a minimum of four games. Ingram had been signed to the active roster the same day.

Kansas City had turned to veteran Samaje Perine and undrafted rookie Carson Steele in Pacheco’s absence before bringing in Hunt.

Hunt, 29, was a third-round pick by the Chiefs in the 2017 draft and rushed for 2,151 yards and 15 touchdowns in 27 games (all starts) during his two seasons (2017-18) in Kansas City.

Kansas City released Hunt in November 2018 after a video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman in a hotel. After authorities did not move forward with criminal charges, Hunt rebooted his career with the Cleveland Browns in 2019.

Hunt appeared in 15 games (two starts) for Cleveland last season, taking on a bigger workload after starter Nick Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2.

In 91 career games (38 starts) with the Chiefs and Browns (2019-23), Hunt has totaled 4,436 yards and 40 TDs on the ground. He also has 226 receptions for 1,890 yards and 17 scores.

Ingram, 24, appeared in one game this season for Kansas City. He did not record a carry or a catch.

Steele, 21, started on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons and had 17 carries for 72 yards, bringing his season totals up to 26 carries and 99 rushing yards in three games.

Perine, 29, had six carries for 25 yards against the Falcons.
