Isiah Pacheco Remains Week-to-Week, Won’t Practice Before Chiefs’ Nov. 17 Game in Denver

An MCL sprain typically requires weeks of recovery, with an NFL physician indicating he may need another week.

Overview

  • Head coach Andy Reid said he will have to see on Isiah Pacheco’s status and confirmed the running back did not practice on November 12.
  • Team testing identified a sprained MCL and the Chiefs continue to list Pacheco as week-to-week.
  • Pacheco missed Week 9 against the Bills and had the Week 10 bye, after appearing in eight games before the injury.
  • NFL injury expert Dr. Jesse Morse wrote that there is a chance Pacheco needs another week to heal.
  • With Pacheco sidelined, Kansas City leaned on Kareem Hunt in Week 9 while also using Clyde Edwards-Helaire, as Denver looms with a chance to extend its AFC West lead.
