Chiefs Rule Out Isiah Pacheco, Elevate Clyde Edwards-Helaire for Bills Trip

Kansas City bolsters backfield depth to manage Isiah Pacheco's week-to-week knee injury.

Overview

  • Head coach Andy Reid confirmed Isiah Pacheco will miss Sunday with a sprained MCL and is considered week-to-week.
  • The Chiefs activated running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and guard C.J. Hanson from the practice squad for the game in Buffalo.
  • Kansas City’s available backs are Kareem Hunt and rookie Brashard Smith, with Edwards-Helaire providing short-notice depth.
  • The matchup carries AFC playoff-race stakes, with the Chiefs entering on a run of five wins in their last six games.
  • Kansas City’s ground game and fourth‑down aggressiveness have surged recently, including a league‑high 14 fourth‑down conversions, and a Week 10 bye could aid Pacheco’s recovery.
