Isiah Pacheco

Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had his practice window opened last week, having been sidelined since suffering a fractured fibula in Week 2.

The top injury updates from the Week 12 slate

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the team would monitor progress from running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu to see if they're able to play against the Panthers.

Pacheco was designated to return from injured reserve last week but wasn't activated ahead of Sunday's game. He got in three limited practices before being ruled out. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Pacheco is expected to be healthy enough to return this week. Whether he does so or not is another question. With the Panthers on tap, the Chiefs don't need to be at full strength to leave Week 12 with a win. Kareem Hunt will remain a low-end RB1 until Pacheco returns.
