    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Undergoing surgery this week

    Isiah Pacheco is slated to undergo surgery on his fractured right fibula in the middle of this week, which will require at least six weeks to recover from, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Pacheco's right leg was caught under a defender on the Kansas City Chiefs' final possession during Sunday's win against the Bengals. He was seen in a walking boot afterward, and testing eventually revealed the diagnosis of a fracture and a prognosis of 6-to-8 weeks, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. In Pacheco's absence, the duo of Carson Steele and Samaje Perine likely will get the first chance to man Kansas City's field. As for other RB options, Clyde Edwards-Helaire must remain on the reserve/non-football illness list until at least Week 5, Keaontay Ingram and Emani Bailey reside on the practice squad, and Kareem Hunt is expected to visit the team.

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Could miss 6-to-8 weeks

    Isiah Pacheco (fibula) is expected to miss in the range of 6-to-8 weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.For his part, coach Andy Reid has already confirmed that Pacheco will miss Sunday's game against the Falcons, per Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star, while acknowledging that "it's going to take a little bit of time there" for the running back to recover from his fibula injury. With Pacheco expected to land on IR, Carson Steele and Samaje Perine are next up in the Kansas City Chiefs' backfield pecking order, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire -- who is on the non-football illness list -- not eligible to return to the active roster until Week 5. The team also has Keaontay Ingram and Emani Bailey on the practice squad and plans to bring Kareem Hunt in for a visit.

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Likely to go on injured reserve

    Kansas City is expected to place Isiah Pacheco on injured reserve after initial tests indicate that he suffered a fractured fibula in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.Kansas City may not make the transaction official until later in the week, but once Pacheco lands on IR, he won't be eligible to play in at least the next four games. Schefter suggests that Pacheco's recovery timeline could extend beyond four games, though the team won't have a clearer idea for how much time the running back might miss until he undergoes an MRI on Monday to determine if he also suffered a fracture or ligament damage to his ankle. Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are next up for carries, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) could also factor into the backfield equation once he comes off the reserve/non-football illness list.

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Leaves arena in walking boot

    Isiah Pacheco (ankle) left the stadium in a walking boot and on crutches after Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals, and he will undergo additional tests on his ankle injury Monday, Jeff Darlington of ESPN.com reports.Pacheco's tests Monday will clarify the severity of the ankle injury he suffered on his 24th and final touch of Sunday's nailbiting win. If the running back carries an injury designation into Week 3 against the Falcons, the pool of possible alternatives for his fantasy managers will be diminished since most games will have been completed by the time the Kansas City Chiefs kick off on Sunday Night Football. Carson Steele and Samaje Perine, who combined for eight touches against Cincinnati, would be the top candidates to fill in if Pacheco misses any time.

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Hurts ankle late in Week 2 win

    Isiah Pacheco is being evaluated for an ankle injury after Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Pacheco got his lower leg caught underneath a defender on a tackle during Kansas City's final drive, which culminated in Harrison Butker's game-winning 51-yard field goal as time expired. The workhorse running back had 19 carries for 90 yards and caught all five of his targets for 21 yards prior to the injury. If Pacheco's availability for Week 3 against the Falcons is impacted, Carson Steele and Samaje Perine would be in line for additional touches.

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Grinds out solid numbers Thursday

    Isiah Pacheco rushed 15 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 33 yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.The hard-charging running back scored his first touchdown of the season from one yard out in the third quarter on what seemed to be a third effort after the Ravens initially stopped him short of the goal line. Pacheco later displayed his never-say-die style on a 10-yard reception where he balanced himself on the back of a defender and then continued running for a fist down. He took 17 of Kansas City's 20 RB touches, with Samaje Perine and Carson Steele only taking occasional snaps, which suggests Pacheco should be busy again Week 2 against the Bengals.

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Continues to lead backfield

    Isiah Pacheco remains in line to serve as the Kansas City Chiefs' lead back in Thursday's season opener versus the Ravens, Blair Kerkhoff of the Kansas City Star reports.With Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the reserve/non-football illness list and in line to miss at least four games, Samaje Perine and rookie Carson Steele are slated to work in complementary roles behind Pacheco to begin the season. While Perine is an adept pass-catching option and will have an opportunity to carve out a change-of-pace role with Kansas City, the newcomer is still getting up to speed with the team's playbook, so he might not be heavily utilized versus Baltimore. With that in mind, Pacheco is a candidate to see plenty of touches Week 1.

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Not expected to play Thursday

    Isiah Pacheco is among the Kansas City Chiefs' key skill players not likely to see action in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.The same applies to QB Patrick Mahomes, fellow RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, WRs Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson and TEs Travis Kelce and Noah Gray. As Week 1 approaches, Pacheco is entrenched as Kansas City's lead back, so Thursday's contest should provide Deneric Prince, Carson Steele, Keaontay Ingram, Louis Rees-Zammit and Emani Bailey with opportunities to support their cases for depth slotting in the team's backfield.

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Brief preseason showing

    Isiah Pacheco ran for two yards on one carry in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit.Pacheco has nothing to prove to the Kansas City Chiefs, so they put him on the field for one drive and gave him the day off otherwise. Not only is Pacheco primed for potentially career-best rushing production in 2024, but the Chiefs appear to have less passing-down competition for the third-year back than either of his prior two NFL seasons. If Pacheco can maintain his high rushing standards while adding more as a pass catcher, he could break out to a new level in 2024.
