Overview
- Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports the Chiefs are “drilling down” on running back trade options, with no deal finalized.
- Pacheco suffered a late Week 8 knee injury versus Washington and did not practice midweek, putting his status for Buffalo in doubt.
- Kareem Hunt and rookie Brashard Smith are expected to handle larger roles, with Elijah Mitchell a possible activation as Kansas City sticks to a committee approach.
- The team had explored defensive line additions earlier, but the recent signing of veteran Mike Pennel has reduced urgency there.
- Potential targets mentioned in reports include Breece Hall, Alvin Kamara and Jerome Ford, though such possibilities remain speculative ahead of the Nov. 4 cutoff.
