Kareem Hunt Returns To Practice, Pierre Strong Jr. Absent

11 months ago

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday, while Pierre Strong Jr. (illness) was absent from the session. It's an upgrade for Hunt, who was idle on Wednesday with a groin injury. It would be somewhat surprising if the 28-year-old former Pro Bowler isn't out there on Sunday against the Chicago Bears; Hunt has followed a similar practice regimen in recent weeks of starting as a DNP, being upgraded to limited, and getting removed from the injury report by the time Friday's injury designations roll around. Despite finding the end zone seven times in nine games since returning from Cleveland's Week 5 bye, Hunt has seen minimal passing-game involvement and hasn't topped the 50-yard threshold on the ground in any outing as a touchdown-dependent fantasy RB3. Strong, a third-stringer, will not be fantasy relevant in Week 15, whether he is active or not due to his illness.
