Chiefs’ Isiah Pacheco Diagnosed With MCL Sprain, Listed Week-to-Week

Kansas City will evaluate his status on a short week before Buffalo, then break for a Week 10 bye.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that Pacheco sustained an MCL sprain and is considered week-to-week.
  • The running back was hurt late in the fourth quarter on a second-and-9 carry, limped to the sideline, and was evaluated after tackles by Trey Amos and Jeremy Reaves.
  • Head coach Andy Reid said the team is monitoring knee injuries to both Pacheco and linebacker Nick Bolton.
  • Pacheco led Kansas City with 12 carries for 58 yards against Washington and has 329 rushing yards on 78 attempts this season.
  • If Pacheco misses time, Kareem Hunt is expected to handle a larger workload, with Brashard Smith and Elijah Mitchell also on the depth chart.
