Report: Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) heading to IR

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is expected to land on injured reserve with a fractured fibula sustained in Sunday’s win against the Cincinnati Bengals, NFL Network reported Monday.

Pacheco had X-rays on his right ankle after the 26-25 victory and was scheduled to have an MRI on Monday.

Pacheco, 25, was seen with a walking boot and crutches leaving Arrowhead Stadium.

He left the game with under two minutes remaining after being bent backward 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.

After the game, head coach Andy Reid indicated said 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 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.

Since being drafted in the seventh round in 2022, Pacheco has won two Super Bowl championships and racked up 2,328 yards from scrimmage with 15 touchdowns in 33 games (26 starts). He has another 635 yards and four TDs from scrimmage in seven playoff starts.

Pacheco would have to miss at least four games if the Chiefs (2-0) place him on IR. Kansas City has a bye in Week 6, meaning his earliest return would be Oct. 27 at Las Vegas.

Veteran Samaje Perine is listed as Pacheco’s backup on the depth chart but did not play on Sunday. Rookie Carson Steele, undrafted out of UCLA, carried seven times for 24 yards against Cincinnati.
