The Cleveland Browns are signing running back Kareem Hunt, the team announced Wednesday.
Hunt's new pact with the team is a one-year deal worth up to $4 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Hunt spent 2019-22 with the club, though he was not re-signed after his contract expired following the 2022 season. He rejoins the team after starting tailback Nick Chubbwas lost for the year due to a knee injury.
Chubb took a direct hit to his left knee from Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick on Monday night and is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery. The team placed Chubb on injured reserve Wednesday.
