Hunt is poised to lead Kansas City's backfield Sunday against the Broncos, as Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out.
Pacheco will miss a second consecutive game sandwiched around Kansas City's Week 10 bye. In Pacheco's absence, Hunt recorded 55 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 12 touches Week 9 against the Bills. Brashard Smith will be available in a change-of-pace role but recorded only three carries in Buffalo.
