Chiefs probably without Pacheco for a long time

Chiefs probably without Pacheco for a long time

Champions Kansas City Chiefs have had to deal with a personal setback in the American football professional league NFL. The team led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes will probably have to make do without running back Isiah Pacheco for several weeks due to a fracture of his right fibula. The 25-year-old limped off the field on Sunday during the Chiefs’ 26:25 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, leaving the stadium wearing a protective boot.

“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.
