Isiah Pacheco has emerged as an integral part of the\u00a0Kansas<\/span>\u00a0City Chiefs offense to counter-balance\u00a0Patrick Mahomes<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/span>. They’ll now have to forge a path to a three-peat without the running back.<\/p>\n

Chiefs head coach\u00a0Andy Reid<\/span>\u00a0told reporters that Pacheco, who is sidelined with a broken fibula, may miss the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Pacheco was originally given a six-to-eight week to return to the field, which would see him return to action around\u00a0Thanksgiving<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Now, there is doubt as to whether a return will happen at all in 2024, if not, until next season.<\/p>\n

Last year, Pacheco’s backfield contributions helped the Chiefs overcome a limited wide receiver’s room to win a second-straight\u00a0Super Bowl<\/span>.<\/p>\n

      Pacheco will be out several weeks with a broken fibula and may not return at all this season<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      ‘I can\u2019t give you a time when he\u2019ll return,’ Reid said. ‘We\u2019ll just see if it\u2019s this season or next season. We\u2019ll see how he does as he goes here.’<\/p>\n

      Pacheco’s injury occurred during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Bengals. Through two games, he had 34 rush attempts this season, ninth in the NFL.<\/p>\n

      With Pacheco out of action, the Chiefs will turn to recently-signed Samaje Perine and rookie Carson Steele to carry the load.<\/p>\n

      Kansas City also recently resigned Kareem Hunt to its practice squad to bolster its depth at running back with Pacheco expected to be out for at least two months.<\/p>\n

      Hunt originally joined the Chiefs in 2017 as a rookie but was waived the following year after a video of him pushing and kicking a woman surfaced. The running back would end up in Cleveland after the Chiefs removed him from their roster.<\/p>\n

      Reid admitted seeing improvements in Hunt that made them comfortable with bringing him back on board.<\/p>\n

      ‘We felt like he did that,’ Reid said. ‘He did a nice job in Cleveland and we talked to people there and there are no issues there.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
