Hunt (ankle) is expected to participate at Friday's practice, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Hunt has been unable to practice this week due to the ankle injury, so any participation in Friday's session would be a step in the right direction for Week 17. The 26-year-old missed the past two games while on the reserve/COVID-19 list, though he may have been absent regardless due to the ankle issue. Hunt could avoid an injury designation for Monday's matchup with the Steelers if he's able to practice with no limitations by Saturday.
