The Chiefs enter Week 11 as the NFL’s only undefeated team, and the two-time defending champions continue to improve. Running back Isiah Pacheco, who Suffered a fibula fracture in week 2 against the Bengals, returned to practice this week for the first time since his injury.

Kansas City opened Pacheco’s practice window this week, giving the team 21 days to activate him from injured reserve. However, even though Pacheco has been practicing, Kansas City may not feel ready to play a game again.

Here’s the latest update on Pacheco’s position ahead of the weekend.

Is Isiah Pacheco playing this week?

The Chiefs ruled Pacheco out of Sunday’s game against the Bills because the running back needs more time to recover from his injury.

Pacheco participated in practice on a limited basis all week after the team designated him to return to practice from injured reserve. After this week, Kansas City has two more weeks before having to activate Pacheco to the active roster.

The Chiefs face the Panthers in Week 12 and the Raiders in Week 13.

Chiefs RB Depth Chart

With Pacheco out, Hunt will once again lead the way in the backfield, as he was the only true running back to receive a carry in the game last week. So far this season, Hunt has 125 carries for 449 yards and five touchdowns, all of which lead the team.

Steele is the team’s fullback, but he plays second on the team this season. Perine, meanwhile, is primarily a depth option, but has spent time in the backfield instead of Hunt or Steele.

Edwards-Helaire, the former first-round pick, has yet to see any action this season. He is usually an inactive player on Sundays.

Fantasy Insights from Isiah Pacheco

Once Pacheco returns, he will likely regain his place atop the Chiefs depth chart. However, with Hunt producing in Pacheco’s absence, the two could split time instead of one getting more carry over the other.
