Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been out of action since suffering a leg injury in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, there’s good news for Chiefs fans as Pacheco was activated from the injured reserve list this week, raising hopes for his potential return in the upcoming Week 13 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Pacheco has been dealing with a broken fibula but made a significant recovery, showcasing full participation in the team’s practices this week. His activation from the injured reserve list just in time for the Chiefs’ matchup on Black Friday suggests that he is on track to rejoin the lineup against the Raiders.
While it appears that Pacheco will be back on the field, there remains some uncertainty regarding whether he will continue to appear on the team’s injury report as the season progresses.
In Pacheco’s absence, the Chiefs have had a variety of running back options, including Kareem Hunt, Carson Steele, Samaje Perine, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, all of whom have contributed to the team’s running game.
This situation offers a silver lining for the Chiefs as they look to bolster their offense. A healthy Pacheco could provide a much-needed boost as they approach the crucial latter part of the season. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how his return impacts the team in their pursuit of postseason success.
