Chiefs Rule Out Isiah Pacheco for Broncos Game as Denver Declares Multiple Starters Out

Kareem Hunt takes the lead in Kansas City’s backfield as Khalen Saunders becomes an available reunion candidate after clearing waivers.

Overview

  • Pacheco did not practice all week and was ruled out for a second straight game with a knee injury sustained in Week 8.
  • The Broncos listed cornerback Patrick Surtain, running back J.K. Dobbins, tight end Nate Adkins, and linebackers Johan Elliss and Alex Singleton as out.
  • Hunt is expected to handle most carries after playing 78.9% of snaps in Week 9, with Brashard Smith and Elijah Mitchell in support and Clyde Edwards-Helaire a depth option.
  • Depth receiver and special-teams contributor Jaylon Moore was a late addition to the injury report with an illness and is questionable.
  • Defensive tackle Khalen “Bink” Saunders cleared waivers and is free to sign, with former Chiefs teammates publicly urging a reunion; no agreement has been reported.
