The Kansas City Chiefs designated running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu to return to practice this week, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
They could be available for Sunday’s showdown as the undefeated Chiefs (9-0) visit the Buffalo Bills (8-2) for a clash of AFC division leaders in Orchard Park, N.Y.
Pacheco was placed on injured reserve Sept. 18 with a broken fibula sustained in a Week 2 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Omenihu has been recovering from a torn ACL sustained in last year’s AFC Championship Game victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
Pacheco, 25, rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown and caught seven passes for 54 yards in two games before the injury. He has accumulated 2,328 yards from scrimmage with 15 touchdowns in 33 games (26 starts) since Kansas City drafted him in the seventh round in 2022.
Omenihu, 27, had a career-high seven sacks in 11 games (one start) in his first season with the Chiefs in 2023. He has 18.5 sacks in 72 career games (11 starts) with the Houston Texans (2019-21), San Francisco 49ers (2021-22) and Kansas City. He was a fifth-round pick by Houston in 2019.
