Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco Week-to-Week With MCL Sprain, Likely Out vs. Bills

Kansas City expects Kareem Hunt to handle lead duties with a bye week approaching.

Overview

  • NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that Isiah Pacheco sustained a right-knee MCL sprain and is considered week-to-week after leaving late in the Week 8 win.
  • Pacheco did not practice Wednesday, and the Associated Press reported he is expected to miss Sunday's game in Buffalo.
  • Andy Reid said he does not view the injury as long-term and noted Pacheco wanted to re-enter the game before being held out.
  • Kareem Hunt is in line for increased carries with Brashard Smith and Elijah Mitchell available as depth options in the backfield.
  • The Chiefs have a Week 10 bye that could aid Pacheco's recovery, and some outlets have discussed potential trade targets as speculation rather than firm plans.
