Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco Targeting Thanksgiving Return vs. Cowboys

Kansas City is balancing a short-week return with the recovery window before Week 14.

Overview

  • ESPN reports, citing a source, that Pacheco is aiming to play Thursday with the final call resting with the team.
  • He practiced fully last week, and Andy Reid said he is “coming out pretty good” after holding him out of a two-games-in-five-days scenario.
  • The fourth-year back has been sidelined since Oct. 27 with a sprained MCL suffered against Washington.
  • Kareem Hunt has handled the lead role in his absence, logging 30 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Week 12 win over the Colts.
  • Kansas City signed Dameon Pierce to the practice squad for depth, and a Thanksgiving appearance would be followed by 10 days before hosting the Texans on Dec. 7.
