Overview

  • After missing practice all week with a knee injury sustained in Week 8, Isiah Pacheco was officially declared out for Sunday’s game in Denver.
  • Friday’s injury report listed Xavier Worthy as a full participant following a limited Thursday, and Andy Reid said the receiver merely tweaked his ankle and was good to go.
  • Kansas City is expected to feature Kareem Hunt in the backfield, with Brashard Smith and Clyde Edwards-Helaire in support, replicating the Week 9 rotation without Pacheco.
  • The Chiefs enter at 5-4 against the 8-2 Broncos in a matchup with significant divisional implications as Denver looks to extend its lead in the AFC West.
  • Defensive end George Karlaftis was upgraded to full on Friday, and Pacheco was the only Kansas City player given an out designation on the final report.
