It sure looks like the Cleveland Browns will have running back Kareem Hunt back in action for Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. Hunt has missed the last five games with a calf injury, but he was just recently designated to return from injured reserve and is in good spirits when it comes to suiting up.
NFL Network's Ian Rapaport relayed this quote from Hunt:
“I'm definitely thinking I'm gonna play.”
From @GMFB: #Browns QB Baker Mayfield (lots of injuries) was a full participant at practice yesterday, a sign he’ll be ready for Sunday… and sounds like RB Kareem Hunt (calf) may join him. pic.twitter.com/JUioF0bpSJ

So, it appears the Browns will have their star running back duo in Hunt and Nick Chubb available, as well as the banged-up Baker Mayfield. Cleveland will need all hands on deck against a Ravens team that's 7-3 and sitting atop the AFC North. Baltimore will have Lamar Jackson back in the lineup after he missed last weekend's thrilling win over the Chicago Bears.
The Browns are still right in the thick of things in the competitive AFC North, where all the teams are bunched up. Cleveland is 6-5 but in last place, with the Cincinnati Bengals in second place at 6-4 and the Pittsburgh Steelers in third place at 5-4.
Earning a road win in Baltimore would be an absolutely massive coup for the Browns, who struggled to get by the winless Detroit Lions last week as Mayfield clearly labored through his injuries. The quarterback is going to continue to try to gut it out, and it will certainly help having his dominant running back duo alongside him. Cleveland will surely try to lean on Chubb and Hunt as much as possible in this crucial matchup against Baltimore.
