Isiah Pacheco

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Isiah Pacheco (leg) is “targeting a late-November return.”

Per Rapoport, Pacheco is expected to return to practice in two to three weeks. Pacheco is currently on injured reserve while recovering from the fractured fibula he suffered in the first month of the season. The Chiefs eventually landed on free agent addition Kareem Hunt as their top running back. Hunt has kept the chains moving with 84 carries for 308 yards and four touchdowns in four contests but has no explosive element in his game. He may not go away entirely once Pacheco returns, but expect KC to hand the reins back over to the home run hitter once he is healthy. For now, Pacheco’s role has him pushing for weekly RB1 status.
