KANSAS CITY http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-derrick-nnadi-jersey , Mo. (AP) — ning back Kareem Hunt on Friday night after video surfaced that showed the NFL’s reigning rushing champion knocking over and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel hallway in February.The team issued a statement shortly after the NFL had placed Hunt on its Commissioner Exemption List that said the running back lied when asked about the incident by team officials. The team said “the video today confirms that fact. We are releasing Kareem immediately.”Hunt was at the Chiefs’ facility Friday in preparation for Sunday’s trip to Oakland, but he was excused and sent home shortly after TMZ posted the video online. It shows Hunt being restrained several times by friends before pushing a woman to the ground, where he proceeds to kick her.Police were called to the scene during the Feb. 10 incident, no charges were filed. The police did not respond to several requests for comment Friday night.“Earlier this year, we were made aware of an incident involving running back Kareem Hunt. At that time, the National Football League and law enforcement initiated investigations into the issue,” the Chiefs said. “As part of our internal discussions with Kareem, several members of our management team spoke directly to him. Kareem was not truthful in those discussions.”The Chiefs and the NFL have been aware of Hunt’s incident since it occurred, but much like the case involving former Ravens running back Ray Rice, the video brought a new dimension to the case. It showed Hunt lunging toward a woman and several others in the hotel hallway, and the second-year pro being restrained several times before knocking two people down.While no charges were filed from the altercation, two police reports were created. Hunt is listed as the suspect in one of them and a woman, Abigail Ottinger, is the suspect in the other one.Hunt also was involved in a June incident, according to TMZ, in which he allegedly punched a man at an Ohio resort. The man Hunt struck declined to press charges.“I want to apologize for my actions. I deeply regret what I did,” Hunt said in a statement issued to several outlets shortly after he was released. “I hope to move on from this.”When asked about the incidents in training camp, Hunt said “I’ve learned from it.” When asked to elaborate on what he learned, he replied: “Just be in the right place at the right time.”Hunt led the NFL in rushing as a rookie with 1 Womens Kendall Fuller Jersey ,327 yards and eight touchdowns in helping Kansas City make the playoffs. He had run for 824 yards this season, with seven touchdowns rushing and seven more receiving, in helping the Chiefs to a 9-2 start and a lead in the AFC West.Spencer Ware is expected to take over as the lead running back.Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt was asked several times about Hunt’s incidents in the offseason, and he acknowledged that “young men are not always going to make the best decisions.”“We have a strong support system, both with the coaching staff and also our player development that works with young guys and talks to them about the situations that they want to be in,” Clark Hunt said during training camp. “Obviously he had a very big year on the field last year. I’m sure he learned some lessons this offseason and hopefully won’t be in those kind of situations in the future.”He won’t be as a member of the Chiefs.Domestic violence has been a major issue in the NFL in recent years, one that struck home in Kansas City in 2012 when Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend before killing himself at the team’s practice facility. Belcher was later found to have suffered from CTE.The most memorable incident came in 2014, when a video showed Rice punched and knocked out his then-fiancee in an elevator in an Atlantic City hotel. Rice was originally suspended two games by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who later was heavily criticized for such a light penalty after the video was released.Rice soon after was suspended indefinitely by the league. He won an appeal but was released by the Ravens, and the three-time Pro Bowl running back never returned to the NFL.Last year, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was suspended for six games by Goodell after the league concluded after a yearlong investigation that he had several physical confrontations in the summer of 2016 with his girlfriend at the time.The league has implemented a stronger domestic violence policy, but incidents have continued to make news. Just last weekend, the 49ers cut linebacker Reuben Foster when he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence — he has since signed with Washington but remains on the NFL’s exempt list.Hunt had exhibited a pattern of questionable behavior dating to his college days at Toledo, where he shattered school records but also was suspended his junior season for violating team rules.The Chiefs chose him in the third round of last year’s NFL draft, and he was poised to spend the season as the backup before Ware went down with a season-ending knee injury in the preseason. Hunt was thrust into the starting role and fumbled on his very first carry in a game in New England, but bounced back to have one of the best seasons in franchise history.He had six games of at least 100 yards rushing and helped Kansas City win consecutive division titles for the first time, a season that ultimately landed Hunt in the Pro Bowl.Hunt was off to another good start this season, his rushing yardage putting him fourth in the NFL and his touchdown total trailing only the Rams’ Todd Gurley II and the Saints’ Alvin Kamara.He was also well-liked in the locker room, despite the off-the-field distractions from this past offseason. Hunt had joined quarterback Patrick Mahomes Anthony Hitchens Jersey , tight end Travis Kelce and several other Chiefs players in attending Sporting Kansas City’s playoff game on Thursday night. After sitting out the other offseason activities, the Chiefs All-Pro is healthy and eager to play" Kansas City Chiefs NewsChiefs tight end Travis Kelce is more than ready to playNew,7commentsAfter sitting out the other offseason activities, the Chiefs All-Pro is healthy and eager to playCDTKansas City Chiefs starting tight end Travis Kelce has been sidelined for the entire offseason program after undergoing “cleanup” ankle surgery to alleviate nagging pain he’s felt over the last few seasons.Now fully recovered, Kelce is being eased back in with the other injured players before the rest of the veterans report to Chiefs training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri on Friday afternoon.He’s been ready to get back to playing for a while.“I’m sick of everyone snickering in the background,” Kelce told Arrowhead Pride in June. “‘Coach Travis! Coach Kelce!’ I’m over that at this point. I just want to get out there and play football. Although, I feel like I can help out some of the young guys with the experience I’ve had and the success I’ve had in this offense and Andy Reid giving me the tools and the ability to be able to coach this up in the offseason. It’s been a blessing — I don’t want to say ‘in disguise’ — but it’s been fun because I can sit back and I can watch guys, see how they progress and things like that. It’s definitely been fun coaching for the offseason, but I’m ready to play.”Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsAfter getting back on the field Wednesday, Kelce told the press that while he’s happy to continue coaching younger players, he prefers to teach by example.“It’s good to get a sweat in, take the visor off and put a helmet on and get out there and start running around,” he said. “As the role I had in the offseason being a player-coach, it’s a lot easier being on the field leading by example than it is to just talk about it. It doesn’t matter how much credibility you have on your resume or what you have done in the past until you go out there and go through the motions. Show the effort. Show the excitement to be out there with the guys.“It’s a little different when you see a guy out here going through the motions and bringing the energy and more so walking the walk than just talking it.” he added. “I think just being out here working with the guys and showing them this is how we do it here and leading by example, I think that’s the best way you can do it.”When everyone is back in camp on Friday, the Chiefs will have six — count ‘em, six! — other tight ends on the field, with room for just one or two more in September.Even though most of them aren’t going to make the final cut http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-chad-henne-jersey , Kelce said he is impressed with the group.“The best thing is that all of these guys are willing to work and willing to learn,” he said. “Even last year, Dememtrius Harris, he was a hell of a player and we’re going to miss him. Guys will need to step up.But at the same time, we have unbelievable players here. Brett Veach and Coach Reid have done an unbelievable job of bringing guys in that are ready to play and fill that void. I think we will be just fine in the tight end area.”Kelce was specifically asked about undrafted free agent John Lovett, the former Princeton quarterback the Chiefs want to convert into a tight end — or possibly an H-back.As a former college quarterback himself, Kelce appreciates what Lovett is going through.“He is a brilliant kid,” said Kelce. “He’s learning the offense faster than a lot of guys would and it makes sense. He’s a high-intellect guy and he understands the information and knows how to put it into his own way and his own form. He is a different athlete than a lot of us. That’s the biggest thing making the transition from quarterback to tight end: you didn’t grow up playing that position, so you are already behind the eight ball on that; you can’t just go out there and do ‘tight end stuff.’ It has to make sense in your mind and it turns into almost your own position and your own way on how you play the game.”Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty ImagesKelce was also asked about being on the beach with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and other Chiefs receivers — which was commemorated in a viral video last week.Kelce said the experience made him realize that his ankle surgery had done exactly what it was supposed to do.“I was playing around and running around on the beach,” he explained. “There was times when my ankle got caught in an awkward position just being in the beach running around — and I could tell you that last year or two years ago that thing would have just rolled out and I would’ve probably been sitting there watching guys run routes on the beach instead of being out there doing in myself. I’m very fortunate that Dr. Anderson, the trainers here — David Glover, Rick Burkholder and everybody — [have] gotten me to the position where I can just go out and play football.”Like his quarterback — who repeatedly spoke of the team’s brotherhood on Tuesday —Kelce places a premium on the chemistry and camaraderie he shares with his teammates.He said the trip helped cement that for the coming season.“I already feel like this team has unbelievable chemistry,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons we went on a trip like that — because we are all so close and we wanted to enjoy some time somewhere else instead of only enjoying it in the buildings. It helps in a way, but at the same time, the chemistry is solid and we’re always working forward from there.”
