Isiah Pacheco

Isiah Pacheco (leg) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Pacheco was designated to return from injured reserve last week but wasn’t activated ahead of Sunday’s game. He got in three limited practices before being ruled out. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Pacheco is expected to be healthy enough to return this week. Whether he does so or not is another question. With the Panthers on tap, the Chiefs don’t need to be at full strength to leave Week 12 with a win. Kareem Hunt will remain a low-end RB1 until Pacheco returns.
