NFL Says Kareem Hunt Investigation 'Ongoing' After RB Wasn't Interviewed

The NFL released a statement Sunday saying its investigation into the February incident with former Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is "ongoing."

Hunt revealed on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown that the league never interviewed him regarding the incident. TMZ posted video Friday of Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel in February. 

"The NFL's investigation began immediately following the incident in February," the statement said. "Consistent with standard investigatory practices, the NFL continues to pursue a complete understanding of the facts. The NFL's ongoing investigation will include further attempts to speak to the complainants involved in the incident. It will include a review of the new information that was made public on Friday—which was not available to the NFL previously—well as further conversations with all parties involved in the incident."

The Chiefs released Hunt after the video surfaced, saying he lied about the events of the night. Hunt confirmed he was misleading in his ESPN interview.

"The Chiefs are right. I didn't tell them everything. I don't blame them for anything. My actions caused this," Hunt told ESPN's Lisa Salters.

Hunt said he did not know the woman before the night the altercation occurred. He has not had any contact with her since but offered a public apology during the interview. 

"It was just a long night," Hunt said. "To be exact, it don't really matter what happened. I was in the wrong. I could have took responsibility and made the right decision to find a way to de-escalate the situation."

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Hunt is expected to go unclaimed on waivers.
