What It Means:

Hunt will miss a minimum of three games due to the IR designation, but he could miss up to six weeks due to his calf injury. Nick Chubb will likely take on most of Hunt's pass-catching work (4.0 targets per game, 14.3% share) whenever he can return from his own calf issue. D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton are expected to split backfield duties in Week 7 on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos if Chubb is unavailable.

The Broncos are allowing the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position and the seventh-fewest Adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points per play this season. Felton and Johnson both logged 20.3% offensive snap shares and two touches a piece in Week 6. On the year, Felton has run a route on 24-of-26 pass plays that he's been on the field for, compared to Johnson running just seven routes on 11 passing snaps.
