Pacheco (ankle) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
The injury report was released about two hours after Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that only a late setback would stop Pacheco from playing Friday against the Raiders. The running back has missed nine straight games since suffering a fractured fibula Week 2, with Kareem Hunt emerging as a reliable fantasy starter in his absence. Reid hasn't commented on workload expectations for Friday in what likely will be Pacheco's first game back on the field. Expect the Chiefs to formally activate Pacheco from injured reserve following their final practice of the week Thursday.
