The Chiefs are re-signing RB Kareem Hunt to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with incentives, per source.

With Hunt and Mitchell finding themselves in KC this week, it feels like the Chiefs will be passing on a rookie once again, which is good news for Pacheco. A full offseason removed from his fibula injury, he should be back in RB2 consideration.

The Chiefs have waived their former first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

CEH missed some time this season for mental health reasons, an issue that goes back several years, but the Chiefs are pretty comfortable with their backfield after signing Hunt and recently getting Pacheco back from his leg injury. The team also has Perine and Steele. CEH often played key roles for the Chiefs in their playoff runs, so he may get another chance with another team, but likely isn't going to be fantasy-worthy in typical redraft leagues this season.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire is back for Kansas City.

Per the NFL’s daily transaction wire, the Chiefs have activated Edwards-Helaire off of the non-football injury list to the 53-man roster.

Edwards-Helaire returned to practice earlier this month and had been dealing with physical effects stemming from post-traumatic stress disorder, including nausea and vomiting, the story said. With Hunt seemingly taking over the RB1 role, there could be a path for CEH to get back to an RB2 role, jumping ahead of Perine and Steele. The Chiefs seem to trust CEH, and HC Andy Reid was quoted in the story saying, "We're awful glad to have him here."

Kareem Hunt could be the Chiefs’ starter Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. If that happens, Carson Steele would be the primary backup, an option on short-yardage plays, and seven-year veteran Samaje Perine would remain in his role as the third-down back.

The story said the Chiefs will likely need Hunt to provide consistent production in the next several games to help stabilize the offense with all the injuries on that side of the ball. The 29-year-old Hunt will need to prove his legs are still fresh, and if he can, he may be the top option at RB for the team. If Hunt is still on your waiver wire, he's a must-add.

The Chiefs have signed RB Kareem Hunt to their 53-man roster and waived RB Keontay Ingraham.

So, Hunt now figures into the RB rotation alongside Carson Steele and Samaje Perine.

Owners of any of the three RBs may have to take a wait-and-see approach as we head into Week 4. It seems like Hunt could end up eating into Steele's workload the most, but it all remains to be seen. Steele led the way in Week 3 with 17 carries to Perine's 6. Perine did have three receptions. But, It seems like Hunt could eat into any of those touches. Steele seems like the safest play among the three until we see more. The Chiefs are at the Chargers in Week 4.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid says Kareem Hunt will not be activated for the Falcons. Reid adds that both left tackles, Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris, will see time in Atlanta.

This is going to be a difficult RB rotation to project as we head in sort of blind into Week 3. The best guess is that Steele will handle early-down work, with Perine taking care of most of the third downs, and Ingram will rotate in for a handful of snaps. We currently have Steele and Perine ranked as low-end RB3s.

The Chiefs have signed RB Keaontay Ingram to the active roster, Kareem Hunt to the practice squad and placed RB Isiah Pacheco on Injured Reserve, among other moves.

Hunt is now 29 so it remains to be seen just what he has left in the tank. But, he is familiar with the Chiefs offense, so there could be some opportunity to play sooner than later. It could come down to just how successful the Chiefs will be at RB with Steele and Perine, who could also be free agents this week in your league. Steel and Perine will get the first chances, but Hunt could at least be a deeper league stash if you can't claim Steele or Perine.

The injury Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco suffered on Sunday is a serious one, but not season-ending.

Pacheco will miss 6-8 weeks, according to multiple reports. Pacheco will go on injured reserve but does expect to play again this year.

As the story said, that’s reasonably good news considering that Pacheco reportedly suffered a fractured fibula, which can sideline players for multiple months. A report said the Chiefs are bringing in Kareem Hunt for a visit, so a reunion could be possible. For now, Steele and Perine look like they'll split the workload but the Chiefs will likely have to bring in another back.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is expected to land on injured reserve with the fibula injury he suffered Sunday vs. the Bengals.

Pacheco will miss a minimum of four weeks and quite possibly longer, per Schefter's sources. He is undergoing additional testing today to determine the full damage, according to the rest of the post, but the injury did not look good. For now, Steele and Perine are expected to split the RB duties with Steele likely getting early down carries and Perine the passing down back. CEH is on the NFI list, reportedly for mental health issues. He will need to miss the first four games but there hasn't been a timetable for his return. The Chiefs will likely have to make a move at the position, at least until CEH is able to come back.
