The Kansas City Chiefs will attempt to bounce back from last week’s loss in Green Bay without their top running back.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs ruled out Isiah Pacheco for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills due to a shoulder injury, head coach Andy Reid told reporters.<\/p>\n
Pacheco missed practice all week. He briefly went down in Sunday’s loss but returned shortly after. The running back was ejected with less than a minute left in the contest.<\/p>\n
The second-year back leads the Chiefs with 779 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 176 carries. Clyde Edwards-Helaire is second among K.C. RBs with 140 rushing yards and a TD on 40 totes. As the passing game has struggled to find consistency, Pacheco’s bruising running style has helped keep the operation balanced and churn out yards. Facing a Bills defense that allows 4.7 yards per carry in 2023, fourth-most in the NFL, the Chiefs will miss Pacheco on Sunday.<\/p>\n
In his stead, CEH figures to see an uptick in totes. Jerick McKinnon, who missed the past two games due to a groin injury, will see the pass-catching duties and could share carries against Buffalo.<\/p>\n
Reid also ruled out linebacker Drue Tranquill, defensive back Bryan Cook and offensive tackle Donovan Smith for Sunday’s tilt.<\/p>\n
