The Chiefs are re-signing RB Kareem Hunt to a one-year deal. It has a base value of $1.5 million with another $1 million available in incentives, according to insider Jordan Schultz. It's a cheap contract for a 29-year-old who was forced into a significant role last season. Hunt joins Isiah Pacheco and Elijah Mitchell in Kansas City's backfield for now. The Chiefs are still a candidate to add to the depth chart in next month's draft.

Former 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell has signed a one-year deal worth up to $3.5 million with the Kansas City Chiefs. Mitchell becomes the probable back-up to Isiah Pacheco with only he and Carson Steele currently under contract. It is potentially good news for Pacheco as the Chiefs may be looking more for insurance for him than replacing him as the starter.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (rib) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. He's on track to play vs. the Texans on Saturday. Pacheco split backfield work with RB Kareem Hunt after returning from his leg injury, totaling 49 carries and eight targets in five games vs. Hunt's 45 carries and 10 targets. We're projecting a similar split against Houston.
