Kansas City Chiefs face a pivotal offseason after a disappointing 6-11 season

The Kansas City Chiefs are facing a pivotal offseason after a disappointing 6-11 season

18 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Muted production in defeat Hunt rushed five times for 14 yards and caught three of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Hunt was able to play in Week 18 after opening the week on the sidelines at practice with an illness, but he finished with fewer than 15 rushing yards for the third time in four weeks. The running back was able to match his season-high three catches though, finishing third on the team in receiving yards. Hunt has now completed his campaign having turned 163 carries into 611 yards and eight touchdowns while reeling in 18 of 25 targets for 143 yards and a touchdown over 17 regular-season contests. The 30-year-old will enter the offseason as a free agent, and he's proven to be a rather reliable short-yardage option in the backfield, potentially making him a desirable player on the open market.

Cleared for Sunday's game Hunt (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's season finale against the Raiders after practicing fully Friday.

Impact Hunt logged 'DNPs' Wednesday and Thursday, but the running back's full participation in Friday's session sets the stage for him to be available in Week 18. Meanwhile, fellow RB Isiah Pacheco (not injury-related/rest) is listed as questionable to face Las Vegas, and if he's made inactive this weekend, Hunt would be in a position to lead a Kansas City backfield that also includes Brashard Smith and Dameon Pierce. In his last outing, Hunt logged a 56 percent snap share en route to rushing seven times for 38 yards in the Chiefs' Week 17 loss to the Broncos, while Pacheco carried nine times for 32 yards, seeing action on 35 percent of the team's snaps on offense.

Absent from practice Thursday Hunt (illness) did not practice Thursday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Hunt will miss a second straight practice due to an ailment he's managing. Unless he's able to resume practicing in full Friday, it looks like the veteran running back will be assigned an injury designation for Sunday's season finale against the Raiders. Isiah Pacheco could get a chance to handle a workhorse backfield role in Week 18 if Hunt can't go.

Dealing with illness Hunt (illness) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Hunt handled his usual backfield split alongside Isiah Pacheco during Kansas City's 20-13 loss to Denver on Christmas Day in Week 17, rushing seven times for a team-high 38 yards. The veteran is facing a chance to close out the year on a positive note with a favorable matchup against the Raiders on deck for Sunday, but he'll first need to get healthy from his current ailment. Hunt will have two more chances to retake the practice field ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale.

Leads ground attack in loss Hunt rushed seven times for 38 yards in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncs on Thursday.

Impact Hunt logged two fewer carries than backfield mate Isiah Pacheco but outgained him by six yards, while neither back had any involvement in the passing game. Hunt saw a significant resurgence from a forgettable Week 16 showing against the Titans, when he'd netted only two rushing yards on three carries. Hunt will look close out the campaign on a positive note and eclipse 40 rushing yards for the first time since Week 13 when the Chiefs visit the Raiders in Week 18.

Runs for two yards in loss Hunt rushed three times for two yards in the Chiefs' 26-9 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Impact In their first game without Patrick Mahomes (knee), the Chiefs embarrassingly ran just 43 offensive plays against the now 3-12 Titans. Along the way, Gardner Minshew also suffered a knee injury, leading to QB3 Chris Oladokun playing a majority of the game for Kansas City. At this point, the Chiefs are just playing out the string on a lost season, giving Hunt very minimal fantasy appeal for Christmas Day against the Broncos.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • Associated Press

Next to nothing on seven touches Hunt rushed six times for 12 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Hunt was stonewalled on the ground by a Chargers defense that had often been beatable this season, and he also logged five fewer carries than backfield mate Isiah Pacheco, who didn't fare any better than Hunt while churning out just 1.9 yards per carry. The entire outlook for the Chiefs' offense also darkened considerably once it was confirmed Patrick Mahomes suffered a torn ACL Sunday per Adam Schefter of ESPN, so Hunt may continue to find running room at a premium over the final three games of the season.

Scores KC's only TD Sunday Hunt rushed 12 times for 30 yards and a touchdown while failing to bring in his only target in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.

Impact Hunt struggled generating running room on his 12 carries Sunday, but he rewarded fantasy managers with the only touchdown from Kansas City's side in the primetime loss. Former starter Isiah Pacheco remained involved by gaining the same yardage on nine carries, but he couldn't match the starter's trip to the end zone. Hunt has been providing a high floor since taking over lead back duties, a scenario that should hold true in Week 15 against the Chargers.

Handles lead duties in Dallas Hunt carried the ball 14 times for 58 yards and caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Even with Isiah Pacheco back in the lineup, Hunt handled the bulk of the work in the Kansas City backfield, getting 15 touches to Pacheco's five and out-gaining him 80 scrimmage yards to 33. Hunt did see his four-game TD streak come to an end, but the 80 combined yards were his second-highest total of the season after last week's 130. The veteran appears to have a firm hold of the No. 1 RB job heading into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Texans.
