Lions RB Isiah Pacheco was placed on IR and will be out at least four games. Pacheco signed a one-year $1.81 million contract this offseason as the likely backup to Jahmyr Gibbs. He’s been dealing with a back issue during training camp that ultimately landed him on IR.
Lions RB Isiah Pacheco is sidelined by a back injury and uncertain for Week 1, HC Dan Campbell said Thursday. Pacheco had been out with an MCL sprain, but Campbell said that knee is no longer a concern.
Lions RB Isiah Pacheco will miss time with an MCL sprain but is expected back for the start of the season, HC Dan Campbell said Monday. Pacheco is the favorite for the No. 2 RB job behind Jahmyr Gibbs, but this isn't a great look for a guy with an extensive injury history.
The Lions are signing former Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco, according to NFL Network reports. Pacheco entered the league as a seventh-round pick in 2022 but wound up easily leading Kansas City in carries and rushing yards that year, as well as rushing TDs. He saw increased usage in his second season and carried a workhorse role from the playoffs into the start of 2024. But a Week 2 leg fracture derailed that campaign, and Pacheco never got back to his previous form in 2025.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is inactive for today’s game vs. the Raiders. That leaves the backfield to Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith, and Dameon Pierce.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He was on the injury report with 'rest' all week, so Pacheco is seemingly healthy enough to play if the Chiefs want him to. We'll look for further updates on the situation and get Kansas City's inactives a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday. Pacheco's absence would leave the backfield to Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith.
With QB Patrick Mahomes out for the season after tearing his ACL and WR Rashee Rice missing this week with a concussion, the Chiefs offense struggled against a poor Titans’ defense. QB Gardner Minshew left the game with a knee injury in the second quarter forcing the team to turn to QB Chris Oladokun. The team only scored 6 points* for the remainder of the game.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco reclaimed the rushing lead in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. He took his 11 carries for just 21 yards (1.9 per rush), while Kareem Hunt carried six times for 12 yards (2.0). Brashard Smith claimed the other two RB attempts, contributing a mere 1 yard. The usage pushed the backfield split back to what we saw from Kansas City backs before Pacheco's injury absence.
Isiah Pacheco returned to action after missing three games with a sprained MCL, but Kareem Hunt continued to lead the Chiefs in playing time and opportunities in Kansas City's 31-28 loss. Hunt out-snapped Pacheco 42-20 and also held a 14-3 edge in carries.
