Hunt tallied two stops in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 14 tackles in 10 games.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt played in a rotational role for the Bears over the last seven games of the season, but he averaged fewer than 1.5 tackles per game while not recording a sack. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but he's recorded just one sack since 2018 as he goes into his age-35 season. It's unlikely he'll be a significant factor in 2022 IDP leagues.

EDGE Analysis

Hunt reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL transactions log.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster prior to Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Browns. He contributed three tackles and one tackle for loss, while working primarily on special teams but also along the team's defensive line. Hunt has been active for each of the team's last two games, so he'll need to be signed to the active roster before taking the field for the Bears in another game this season.

The Bears elevated Hunt from their practice squad Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bears will be without Eddie Goldman (knee) for the third consecutive game, while Bilal Nichols (back) is listed as questionable. Angelo Blackson has seen an increased role during Goldman's absence, but the Bears elected to elevate Hunt for depth with so many injuries along their defensive line.

Hunt (illness) is active for Sunday's game versus Washington, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, but the Bengals listed him as questionable because of questions about his conditioning. The veteran defensive tackle has been given the green light, however, and he'll return to action Sunday. Hunt has recorded three tackles through six games between Cincinnati and New Orleans this year.

Hunt (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Football Team, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Hunt is eligible to play immediately, he's missed the last two weeks of practice and may need more conditioning before playing in a game, hence the questionable tag. Before being placed on the list, Hunt made one start at defensive tackle through the six games in which he was active.

The Bengals placed Hunt on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with an infected person. If it's the latter, he'll have an opportunity to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols and play in Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Hunt signed a contract with the Bengals on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old was released by the Saints last week and now has a new home with the Bengals. Hunt appeared in four games before being let by New Orleans, totaling three tackles while playing a rotational role at defensive tackle. He should fill a similar in Cincinnati.

The Saints released Hunt on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt played in four games with the Saints and recorded three tackles, but he was let go just hours before the team's Week 5 matchup against the Saints. The veteran defensive tackle added depth, but the team appears comfortable with David Onyemata and Shy Tuttle behind Malcom Brown and Sheldon Rankins (hand).
