The league states that Hunt received the fine for unsportsmanlike conduct. Hunt became the first Seahawks player to receive a fine since Week 14 when the trio of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, D.K. Metcalf, and DeeJay Dallas earned monetary penalties from the NFL.

Hunt, a sixth-round selection in the 2016 NFL draft, played his college ball with the TCU Horned Frogs. Hunt played four years with the Horned Frogs, appearing in 42 games before the Seattle Seahawks inked him to a contract. However, after four years with the franchise, the Seahawks released Hunt in the summer of 2020. He appeared in 20 games, starting three at center. Hunt signed with the Indianapolis Colts for the 2020 campaign but played in just one game.
Hunt reunited with the Seahawks in 2022 and has been with them ever since. He has been up and down on the active, practice, and reserve rosters.
