Is Isiah Pacheco playing today? Injury updates for Chiefs RB

The Kansas City Chiefs welcomed Isiah Pacheco back to the starting lineup in Week 13, and are set to have him on the field when they face the Cleveland Browns this afternoon.

Isiah Pacheco injury update

Pacheco suffered a fractured fibula in Week 2 of the regular season and spent much of Kansas City’s 2024 campaign on the Chiefs’ injured reserve list.

In his return to the field against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13, Pacheco rushed for 44 yards on seven attempts.

Pacheco followed up his strong performance against the Raiders with a strong showing against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14, and doesn’t seem to be affected by the leg injury he sustained earlier this season.

How long will Isiah Pacheco be out?

Pacheco is no longer listed on Kansas City’s injury report and is considered to be fully healed. Expect him to get the ball early and often against Cleveland this afternoon.
