Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is expected to miss 6-8 weeks due to a fibula injury suffered against the Bengals.
– Pacheco will be placed on injured reserve but is expected to return this season.
X-rays and an MRI will determine if there is a fracture or ligament damage to his right ankle.
– Pacheco left the game on crutches and with his foot in a walking boot.
– Coach Andy Reid anticipates it will take more than a week for Pacheco to return.
The Chiefs are bringing back former RB Kareem Hunt for a visit on Tuesday.
Pacheco, 25, has been the Chiefs’ leading rusher for the past two seasons and had 90 yards and 5 catches on Sunday.
1. The Chiefs have undrafted rookie Carson Steele and veteran Samaje Perine as backups, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the non-football injury list.
