Though Chiefs head coach Andy Reid hasn\u2019t given a definitive update on when Pacheco will return, NFL Media\u2019s Ian Rapoport revealed when the team expects him to return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy understanding is Pacheco, who suffered a fractured fibula, is expected to resume practicing in two to three weeks,\u201d Rapoport said on NFL GameDay on November 3.<\/p>\n<p>That timeline puts Pacheco on track to be active for the final stretch of the regular season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kareem Hunt Has Filled in Admirably as Chiefs\u2019 RB1<\/h2>\n<p>During Pacheco\u2019s absence, the Chiefs have relied on veteran running back Kareem Hunt to be the team\u2019s primary ballcarrier. In four games played for the Chiefs this season, Hunt has registered 308 rushing yards on 84 rushing attempts \u2014 3.67 yards per carry \u2014 and four rushing touchdowns. That\u2019s a large workload for a 29-year-old running back who was a free agent heading into the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if Hunt\u2019s workload is sustainable for the foreseeable future, Chiefs head coach Reid expressed confidence in the veteran back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, listen, he (Kareem Hunt) didn\u2019t have training camp, so I look at it like it\u2019s the third day of training camp,\u201d Reid explained during his press conference on October 28. \u201cHe\u2019ll start picking it up as we go here now. He\u2019s had good work, and I think it will be even more productive going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though the two-time defending Super Bowl champions shouldn\u2019t continue to rely on Hunt to carry the ball 20+ times each game, Hunt\u2019s durability and reliability as a rusher has been a welcomed addition to the roster amid injuries.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Patrick Mahomes Discusses Battling Through Adversity This Season<\/h2>\n<p>Despite dealing with significant injuries to Pacheco, Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, and Jaylen Watson, the Chiefs are still 7-0 heading into Week 9 and are in the driver\u2019s seat in the AFC. That speaks to the resiliency this Kansas City squad has in a season in which the Chiefs are trying to make history by winning a third-straight championship.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke to the media on November 1 and discussed the challenges associated with having a rotating cast of players on offense due to injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the challenge comes more throughout the week just because you\u2019re putting new guys in different positions and asking them to go out there and execute, but once you get the work in throughout the week \u2014 I think we\u2019ve done a great job of executing on game day and hitting some of those throws,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s forced guys to have bigger roles than we expected earlier in the season, but at the same time I feel like guys have kind of accepted the challenge and that\u2019s why we\u2019ve been able to win the games that we\u2019ve been able to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City will try to continue its win streak in Week 9 when the Chiefs face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arrowhead Stadium. That game will be played on Monday, November 4 at 7:15 p.m. Central Time and will be available to watch on ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>Devon Clements covers the Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts for Heavy.com.
