Akeem Hunt: Agrees to injury settlement

Hunt (ankle) agreed to an injury settlement Wednesday and was waived from the Chiefs' injured reserve list.

Hunt didn't earn more than a single carry in any one game last season until Week 17, when starting running back Kareem Hunt sat out to rest up for the playoffs. The third-year back only received four carries in that affair before going down with an undisclosed ankle injury that ultimately prevented him from passing a physical with Kansas City this past May. Now free from IR, Hunt will immediately be available to sign with any team other than the Chiefs should he pass through waivers unclaimed.
