PHOENIX — The Browns are working with the NFL to see if running back Kareem Hunt can remain with the team during his eight-game suspension for two physical altercations, a league source told cleveland.com.

In regards to the suspensions for violations of the Personal Conduct Policy, players are typically banned from the club facility and all team activities during the suspension.

The Browns are hoping that Hunt can continue to work out at the Browns’ facility and attend meetings during the ban, which was for shoving and kicking a woman in the hallway outside his apartment in February of 2018, and for another alleged altercation with a man at a Put-in-Bay Island establishment in June.

It’s even more imperative for Hunt to have the structure of the team and a strong support system in place considering he’s back in his hometown, where the two alleged incidents took place. The Browns have to ensure that Hunt surrounds himself with the right people, and that will be part of the plea to the league.

In addition, some of Hunt’s treatment protocol takes place at the Browns’ facility, and the Browns would like to see that continue. Until the suspension begins Aug. 31, Hunt is permitted to take place in all football activities, including practices and preseason games.

“There will be a plan in place,’’ Browns general manager John Dorsey said at the NFL Annual meetings here Monday. “The NFL will set certain rules, and once we understand those rules and restrictions, that’s something we’ll work through. But we’ve already laid the plan moving from here all the way to up to September, then we’ll have to wait and see what the league says. Then we’ll act accordingly.’’

Dorsey said he couldn’t be happier with how Hunt, a native of Willoughby Ohio, and former Willoughby South star, has conducted himself since the Browns signed him Feb. 11.

“I am most proud of Kareem,’’ Dorsey said. “Last week he was out in the community advocating certain things to young men and trying to mentor them moving forward. So he’s continually trying to make himself the better version of Kareem Hunt. He continually does that on a week-to-week basis.’’

Dorsey reiterated about Hunt’s suspension that “the league imposed it. We’re going to live with it. We’re not going to appeal it.’’

He’s also not necessarily viewing the current situation of Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill as a cautionary tale for Hunt.

Dorsey drafted both players in Kansas City, taking a chance on Hill after he had pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-eight-weeks pregnant girlfriend, who is now his fiancée and pregnant with twins, according to the Kansas City Star. Their son is now 3, and Hill is under investigation for alleged battery involving his son, who suffered a broken arm, according to the Star.

“Each case with players is different,’’ said Dorsey. “Case-by-case basis. Again I can’t talk about another team’s players, but the facts haven’t come out. Have to hold judgment. I don’t know the facts.’’
