Good news for the Chiefs: Pacheco returns from knee injury

Pacheco has missed the last three games because of a knee injury, although that now appears to be behind him. He practiced fully all last week but was not activated for Kansas City’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The second-year back has logged 78 carries for 329 rushing yards and two touchdowns across eight games this season. Kareem Hunt has been the steady presence in the run game during Pacheco’s absence.
