Isiah Pacheco May Not be Ready to Return in Week 11
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid "nudged" that running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) may take more time and might not be ready to return coming out of the bye to face the division-rival Denver Broncos in Week 11, according to Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride. Pacheco sat out of the Week 9 loss to the Buffalo Bills, but at the time, he was expected to be ready to go coming out of the Chiefs' Week 10 bye. The 26-year-old isn't dealing with a serious injury, but KC might just want to play it safe to ensure that they'll have Pacheco at full speed for the final stretch of the regular season. If Pacheco misses a second straight game, veteran Kareem Hunt should once again handle the bulk of the backfield work, with rookie Brashard Smith and Clyde Edwards-Helaire battling for change-of-pace snaps. After playing in only seven regular-season games in 2024 due to injury, Pacheco has disappointed again in 2025, rushing for 329 yards and only one touchdown on 78 carries through eight starts.
