That opportunity came in the form of a reunion with Reid and Mahomes, who\u00a0<strong>have already seen the return of many familiar faces<\/strong>\u00a0in the 2024 NFL season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL News: Andy Reid comments on veteran who reunites with Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Other players who reunited with Mahomes, Reid on the Chiefs in 2024<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>2024 has been\u00a0<strong>a year of reunions<\/strong>\u00a0for the Chiefs. In the offseason, the team boosted its wide receiver room by bringing back\u00a0<strong>veteran wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster<\/strong>, who returned to Kansas City after leaving for the New England Patriots in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>With the 2024 NFL season underway, Reid and Mahomes\u00a0<strong>pushed for Kareem Hunt\u2019s return<\/strong>. The 29-year-old, who spent five years with the Cleveland Browns after being released by the Chiefs in 2018, came in to replace an injured Isiah Pacheco at running back.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries to kickers Harrison Butker and Spencer Shrader\u00a0<strong>also led to a reunion with Matthew Wright<\/strong>, who had two separate stints with Kansas City in 2022. Now, Reid and Mahomes welcome back another familiar name.
