UPDATE: Friday, 7:35 p.m. Arrowhead Time
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport is reporting neither the Chiefs nor the NFL had seen the video before it was published by TMZ Sports earlier Friday.
Neither the NFL, nor the #Chiefs, had seen the video before it was published today. I’m told the league made several attempts to obtain it. The hotel said it was corporate policy to only turn it over to law enforcement. Cleveland PD would not provide it to the league.

While no charges were filed by the Cleveland PD, the NFL had continued its investigation which included contacting the alleged victims. They did not respond to multiple messages, sources say.

#Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, which takes him off the field going forward following a video of him pushing and kicking a woman being released by TMZ.

Hunt has been sent home by the team, per ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
I am told the Chiefs sent Kareem Hunt home from the facility today upon learning of the release of the video and pending further action. Most likely short-term resolution is that Hunt would be placed on the commissioner's exempt list pending a final decision, but we will see.

TMZ Sports released a video Friday afternoon of Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt shoving and kicking a woman back in February of this year.
Reports of the incident emerged in February, via Cleveland.com:
A Middleburg Heights woman told police that Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt “shoved and pushed” her in a weekend dispute at The Metropolitan at the 9 in downtown Cleveland, according to a police report.
According to the report, Hunt was never arrested or charged for the incident.
Back in early August, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said he did not anticipate the league would suspend Kareem, but as we have seen with these situations in the past, video providing visible evidence of wrongdoing can change that.
The belief among reporters is that the Chiefs found out about the video when TMZ Sports released it. They have yet to release a statement.
