Insider Pegs When Chiefs Expect RB Isiah Pacheco to Return to Lineup.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco practiced in Week 11 for the first time since suffering a fractured fibula in Week 2. Though he didn’t return to the gameday lineup in Week 11, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport revealed that Pacheco’s return from injured reserve is right around the corner.

“(Isiah Pacheco) started practicing this week, not quite ready. My understanding is that he is expected to be healthy enough next week,” Rapoport said on “NFL GameDay” on November 17. “They have a short week coming up after that, so maybe the trainers hold him out just as a precaution, but he is coming, and it should be soon.”

From @NFLGameDay: A regime change could be coming for the #Jaguars, while the #Chiefs are anticipating a quick return for standout RB Isiah Pacheco.

Pacheco’s soon-to-be return will be a welcomed addition to Kansas City’s offense. During his absence, veteran back Kareem Hunt, who signed with the Chiefs’ practice squad on September 17, has averaged 20 rushing attempts per game, which ranks second among all NFL running backs this season. Yet Hunt is the only running back within the top 20 in carries that doesn’t have double-digit carries of 10 or more yards and has no rush attempts over 20 yards, per FantasyPros.

Hunt’s performance during Pacheco’s absence has been exceptional when considering that he’s a 29-year-old back who was signed midseason. But when Pacheco returns to the lineup he will bring more explosiveness to Kansas City’s run game.

The Chiefs’ undefeated streak ended at nine games after a 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.

Kansas City trailed early on in the game after quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an interception on his first dropback of the game, and Buffalo responded with a touchdown on the ensuing drive. The Chiefs took their first lead of the game late in the second quarter via a touchdown catch from tight end Noah Gray, but the Bills kicked a field goal to take a 16-14 lead into halftime and held the lead for the remainder of the game.

The Chiefs managed to score just seven points in the second half and had any hope of a comeback ruined when Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard intercepted Mahomes with 1:17 left in the game on a pass intended for TE Travis Kelce.

Mahomes finished the game having completed 23-of-33 pass attempts for 196 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Rookie wideout Xavier Worthy was Kansas City’s leading receiver with four catches for 61 yards and one touchdown. Hunt led the backfield with 14 carries for 60 yards.
