Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco sustained an ankle injury during the team’s Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The injury occurred late in the fourth quarter, when Pacheco’s ankle was caught awkwardly beneath him during a short-yardage play. He limped off the field and did not return for the remainder of the game.
Following the game, head coach Andy Reid confirmed the ankle injury but offered no specific diagnosis, as further tests, including X-rays, were still underway. Pacheco was later seen leaving the stadium in a walking boot and on crutches, raising concerns about the severity of the injury.
Despite the injury, Pacheco had a productive game, recording 90 rushing yards on 19 carries, along with five receptions for an additional 21 yards. His performance continued the momentum from his strong start in Week 1, where he notched 78 total yards and a touchdown.
As the Chiefs prepare for their Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Pacheco’s status remains uncertain. His condition will be closely monitored throughout the week, with more updates expected once further test results are available. Fans and analysts are hopeful that the injury is not too severe and that Pacheco can make a quick recovery
