The Kansas City Chiefs could be getting a key reinforcement back in Week 13, ahead of the Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
“Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is targeting a return to the lineup Thursday vs [the] Cowboys, per source,” ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler reported on November 24. Adding: “He’s been out since Week 8 with a knee injury. Will be up to [the] team, but he’s trending positively.”
Veteran Kareem Hunt has done fairly well spelling Pacheco, but the RB depth has been scarce behind him and rookie pass-catching back Brashard Smith.
The Chiefs just added another ball carrier to the ranks, signing former Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce, but it’ll likely take him some time to learn the KC playbook and system before head coach Andy Reid trusts him in a game.
So, needless to say, getting Pacheco back should be huge for this Chiefs offense against the Cowboys in Week 13.
