Transactions: Chiefs promote Hunt, cut Spiller again

The Kansas City Chiefs are going Hunting, while C.J. Spiller goes fishing.

The Chiefs promoted former Houston Texans running back Akeem Hunt to the active roster ahead of Sunday's clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

In a corresponding move, K.C. released Spiller for the third time in two weeks.

Not to be confused with his new teammate, Kareem Hunt, Akeem Hunt is a third-year back with 37 career carries for 205 yards. The elder Hunt has been utilized as a pass-catcher out of the backfield while with the Texans.

Here are the other roster moves we're monitoring before kickoff on Sunday:

  1. The Baltimore Ravens signed former Seahawks running back Alex Collins and waived former Bears running back Jeremy Langford. Baltimore also have placed cornerback Sheldon Price on injured reserve, replacing him with cornerback Tony McRae from the practice squad.
