Reid on Isiah Pacheco: 'Most Guys Probably Wouldn't Have Come Back'

Reid on Isiah Pacheco: 'Most Guys Probably Wouldn't Have Come Back'

Chiefs HC Andy Reid told ESPN's Adam Teicher this week that he thinks RB Isiah Pacheco will "be even better this year" after a sluggish finish to 2024 following recovery from a broken leg. Pacheco suffered the injury in Week 2. He returned in Week 13 but averaged just 7.8 carries per game and 3.4 yards per rush from there through the playoffs. That included just 13 carries and 37 rushing yards (2.8 per carry) across three playoff contests.

The Chiefs are re-signing RB Kareem Hunt to a one-year deal. It has a base value of $1.5 million with another $1 million available in incentives, according to insider Jordan Schultz. It's a cheap contract for a 29-year-old who was forced into a significant role last season. Hunt joins Isiah Pacheco and Elijah Mitchell in Kansas City's backfield for now. The Chiefs are still a candidate to add to the depth chart in next month's draft.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (rib) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. He's on track to play vs. the Texans on Saturday. Pacheco split backfield work with RB Kareem Hunt after returning from his leg injury, totaling 49 carries and eight targets in five games vs. Hunt's 45 carries and 10 targets. We're projecting a similar split against Houston.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (rib) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He's expected to be ready for the team's playoff opener in a couple of weeks. QB Patrick Mahomes, RB Kareem Hunt, and TE Travis Kelce are listed as doubtful and won't play in this meaningless game. Don't expect WRs Xavier Worthy, DeAndre Hopkins, or Marquise Brown to play much, if at all.
