Andy Reid gives grim injury update on Chiefs star Isiah Pacheco
NY Post
Don’t hold your breath for Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco’s return after Andy Reid’s most recent update.
The Chiefs coach told reporters that Pacheco, who was given a six-to-eight-week timeline to return from a broken fibula, could potentially miss the remainder of the season.
“I can’t give you a time when he’ll return,” Reid told the media. “We’ll just see if it’s this season or next season. We’ll see how he does as he goes here.”
The two-month timeline would’ve put Pacheco back around Thanksgiving but even that could be wishful thinking.
NFL Network later reported that there was no ligament damage found for the Chiefs’ star running back.
Pacheco received 15 of the 20 Chiefs’ carries in a Week 1 win over the Ravens and 19 of 32 in a victory over the Bengals last week.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
