The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly hosting free-agent running back Kareem Hunt for a visit Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
With starter Jonathan Taylor furthering his rehab away from the team for an indefinite amount of time, and with Zack Moss on the mend from a broken arm, the Colts are looking to the market for a potential addition.
Free-agent RB Kareem Hunt had what was called “a great visit with the Saints” and is now on his way to Indianapolis to meet with the Colts on Wednesday, per source.

A former third-round pick, Hunt entered the league in 2017 with the Kansas City Chiefs where he served as the starting running back for the majority of two seasons (2017-2018). He led the NFL in rushing yards during his rookie season with 1,327 yards.
He was released during the 2018 season after a videotape emerged of him physically assaulting and kicking a woman on the ground during February of that offseason. Hunt was never charged in the misdemeanor case, and it never went to court.
Hunt signed with the Cleveland Browns during the 2019 offseason and spent the last four seasons working in tandem with Nick Chubb. Since his stellar rookie season, Hunt has surpassed 800 rushing yards just twice and hasn’t gone over 500 rushing yards in three of the last four seasons.
Hunt also had a visit with the New Orleans Saints.
