Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) is not practicing on Wednesday for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Browns might just be giving Hunt a veteran maintenance day, but they are locked into their playoff spot and could let him rest all week. Pierre Strong will be in line for more work if Hunt is limited or inactive on Sunday.
numberFire's models project Hunt for 9.3 touches in Week 18. The Bengals have the third-worst run defense in the league this season, according to our opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings, so they offer a plus matchup for the entire Browns' backfield.
