ESPN's Dan Graziano expects Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco's role to grow going forward. "The Chiefs were expecting to have to ease him in because he missed some offseason time recovering from hand and shoulder injuries," Graziano writes. "They absolutely view him as their lead back, and they believe they can use him in the passing game as well as the run game." We'll need to monitor the hamstring issue that landed Pacheco on Wednesday's injury report. But if he's able to play this weekend, he's in a great spot at home for a bad Bears defense.
