The NFL season has hit a rough patch with multiple star players succumbing to injuries, including Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco. His absence has left fantasy football owners and Chiefs fans eagerly anticipating his return to the field. Fans are clamoring for updates on when Isiah Pacheco will be back in action, and we’re here to provide the latest injury update on the RB.
The burning question on everyone’s mind is: When will Isiah Pacheco make his triumphant return to the Chiefs lineup? The best-case scenario points to Monday, November 4 in Week 9 when the Chiefs take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This timeline would mark six weeks from the surgery Pacheco underwent on his right fibula.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shared some promising news on September 18, stating that Pacheco had a smooth surgery with “no complications” or “ligament issues.” The initial estimate for his return was set at “at least 6 weeks” with a possibility of extending up to 8 weeks.
Looking at the Chiefs’ schedule around the expected return date sheds some light on the situation. Fans are hopeful for Pacheco’s comeback in the coming weeks, eager to see him back in action on the field.
However, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid threw a bit of a curveball on September 19 with a more somber outlook on Pacheco’s recovery timeline. Reid expressed uncertainty, stating, “I can’t give you a time when he’ll return. We’ll just see if it’s this season or next season.” This ambiguous statement has left fans wondering about the severity of Pacheco’s injury and the true timeline for his return.
Despite Reid’s ominous comments, the consensus among fans and analysts is that Pacheco is likely to make a return this season, barring any unforeseen setbacks. The anticipation for his comeback is palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting his return to the gridiron.
