Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) sustains ‘major’ injury

Isiah Pacheco

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco injured his right ankle during Sunday’s 26-25 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Pacheco left the stadium on crutches and sporting a boot.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he was waiting on test results but indicated the injury was significant.

“The only major injury would be Isiah Pacheco,” Reid said. “He’s having tests on it now — X-Rays all that stuff.”

Pressed on the severity, Reid indicated he was in wait-and-see mode.

“I don’t actually know right now. I’ve just got to see,” Reid said. “They’re doing all the stuff right now, so I haven’t really had a chance to talk to him or anything about it.”

Pacheco was injured with just under two minutes remaining, being bent backwards during a tackle by one defender while another had hold of his leg during a 1-yard run. The injury occurred during the Kansas City drive that ended with Harrison Butker’s game-ending 51-yard field goal.

Pacheco had 90 yards on 19 carries and caught five passes for 21 yards on Sunday. He has a team-high 135 rushing yards through two games.

Pacheco rushed for 830 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie in 2022. Last season, he rushed for 935 yards and seven scores.
