The Kansas City Chiefs’ injuries have piled up throughout their undefeated start to the season. Head coach Andy Reid gave brief updates on starting running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive lineman Charles Omenihu, who remain on injured reserve.
“I mean, he’s (Isiah Pacheco) really doing well, but between the trainers and doctors and all, that’s out of my hands there,” said Reid. “He’s making great progress.”
Pacheco had been out since suffering a fractured fibula in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Charles Omenihu continues to work his way back from his injuries sustained during the AFC Championship game last season.
“Charles (Omenihu) is doing a good job, working his tail off again. The surgeons that do their jobs have the feel of it, so they’re constantly evaluating these guys.” Reid said. “When they’re ready to go, they’re ready to go, that’s how they got, but he’s getting closer.”
The pass rusher has documented his rehab process since surgery and is hopeful to return this season. Both players are significant to the team and could play a role in the quest for a three-peat as the schedule approaches mid-season.
