Hunt is currently being investigated by the NFL and wasn’t going to be able to play or practice with the team for awhile anyways.
Kareem Hunt may not practice, play or attend games. The NFL’s
investigation, which began immediately following the incident in February, will include a
review of the new information that was made public today, per @DanGrazianoESPN.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 1, 2018
