What happened to Isiah Pacheco?

The Kansas City Chiefs running back hurt his shoulder during the defeat to the Green Bay Packers last weekend. Many must have anticipated that after witnessing Pacheco absorb some serious hits.

The second-year running back seemed to be injured during the game but continued to play before he was removed for punching a Packers player with less than a minute remaining. Apart from the ejection, he gave an excellent performance all around. Pacheco had 18 rushes for 110 yards and a score against the Packers.

Pacheco's ground game prowess propelled him to fifth place in the league in terms of rushing yards this season. However, the wear and tear from his frequently aggressive running style has many wondering if the youngster will be ready to play in the Week 14 matchup against the Bills.

#Update: Pacheco is ruled out for the game against the Bills.

When will Isiah Pacheco return?

Isiah Pacheco missed practice on Wednesday due to a shoulder contusion suffered over the weekend.

Whether Pacheco will be able to play in week 14, when the Chiefs meet the Buffalo Bills, remains unclear at the moment.

Reid alluded to Jerick McKinnon's potential comeback from his groin injury on Wednesday. If Pacheco does play against the Bills, McKinnon's return could lighten his workload a bit.
