The Kansas City Chiefs have to deal with a personal setback. Running back Isiah Pacheco was injured on Sunday. The diagnosis suggests a longer period of absence.

Champions Kansas City Chiefs have to cope with a personal setback in the American football professional league NFL. The team around star quarterback Patrick Mahomes will probably have to manage without running back Isiah Pacheco for several weeks due to a fracture of his right fibula.

The 25-year-old limped off the field during the Chiefs’ 26-25 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday and left the stadium wearing a protective boot.

Pacheco out? “It will probably take longer”

“I don’t have a time frame for Pacheco. I know it won’t be this week – it will probably be longer,” said head coach Andy Reid. “He’s a guy who loves the game. He had tears in his eyes and was emotional.”

Pacheco has been one of the Chiefs’ most reliable offensive options since being snapped up by Kansas City with the 251st pick of the 2022 draft. He won the Super Bowl in each of his two NFL seasons with the Missouri franchise.
