Isiah Pacheco

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Isiah Pacheco (ribs) will be “available playoff-wise.”

Reid said the team will probably sideline Pacheco for Week 18 against the Broncos, but the team was already expected to sit multiple starters in what is a meaningless game for the Chiefs. By the time he takes the field in the AFC Divisional round, Pacheco will be nearly a month removed from the injury he suffered on Christmas day against the Texans. The Chiefs could feature a heavy dose of Samaje Perine and Carson Steele if they opt to sit their top two backs in the season finale.
