The Kansas City Chiefs’ Isiah Pacheco and Charles Omenihu will play Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders, provided they don’t aggravate the injuries that have kept them out, coach Andy Reid said Wednesday.
Pacheco, Kansas City’s starting running back, sustained a broken fibula is his team’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.
Omenihu, a defensive lineman, has yet to make his season debut. He has been recovering from a torn ACL sustained in last season’s AFC Championship Game victory against 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.
The Chiefs (10-1) currently are the top seed in the AFC.
