The Chiefs have waived their former first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

CEH missed some time this season for mental health reasons, an issue that goes back several years, but the Chiefs are pretty comfortable with their backfield after signing Hunt and recently getting Pacheco back from his leg injury. The team also has Perine and Steele. CEH often played key roles for the Chiefs in their playoff runs, so he may get another chance with another team, but likely isn't going to be fantasy-worthy in typical redraft leagues this season.

Chiefs OC Matt Nagy on getting RB Isiah Pacheco back: "The best part about that is you just don't have one where they're getting worn down by the time you get to the fourth quarter."

He mentions that workload will be determined in-game, situationally.

The post doesn't say Pacheco is returning this week but you can certainly read into it. The timeline for Pacheco has been late November for quite sometime, and here we are. The return of Pacheco will definitely eat into Hunt's fantasy value. Pacheco may be eased into things this week, a Friday game against the Raiders, but it's looking like playing Hunt in fantasy lineups going forward will come with risk, at least until we get a better feel for how the Chiefs are going to use both backs.

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Andy Reid confirmed Pacheco and Omenihu would not play against Bills but JuJu Smith-Schuster is likely to be a go

Hopkins has shown a good connection with Patrick Mahomes right out of the gate, so we should keep him in WR3 territory, even with Smith-Schuster back in the lineup. The other KC WR options are desperation boom/bust plays in Week 11.

The Chiefs are planning to designate RB Isiah Pacheco and DL Charles Omenihu to return from IR this week.

The 9-0 Chiefs, the last remaining undefeated team, are starting to get healthier. A scary sight.

Pacheco's return date has been said to be around late November, and we're getting to that point and he seems to be on pace. Pacheco was the team's RB1 before getting hurt. Pacheco will likely be eased back into action, but it will be interesting to see what the Chiefs do with their RBs once they feel Pacheco is back up to speed.

Head coach Andy Reid told reporters at his Monday press conference that he believes wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, running back Isiah Pacheco, and defensive end Charles Omenihu are “very close” to returning to action.

According to the rest of the article, Reid said Smith-Schuster is the closest of the three. He’s missed the last three games with a hamstring injury and will try to get on the practice field ahead of the Week 11 trip to Buffalo. The story added Pacheco fractured his fibula in Week 2 and has not been designated for return from injured reserve yet. Other recent reports have said Pacheco could be back by the end of November.

The Chiefs have signed RB Keaontay Ingram to the active roster, Kareem Hunt to the practice squad and placed RB Isiah Pacheco on Injured Reserve, among other moves.

This is going to be a difficult RB rotation to project as we head in sort of blind into Week 3. The best guess is that Steele will handle early-down work, with Perine taking care of most of the third downs, and Ingram will rotate in for a handful of snaps. We currently have Steele and Perine ranked as low-end RB3s.

The injury Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco suffered on Sunday is a serious one, but not season-ending.

Pacheco will miss 6-8 weeks, according to multiple reports. Pacheco will go on injured reserve but does expect to play again this year.

As the story said, that’s reasonably good news considering that Pacheco reportedly suffered a fractured fibula, which can sideline players for multiple months. A report said the Chiefs are bringing in Kareem Hunt for a visit, so a reunion could be possible. For now, Steele and Perine look like they'll split the workload but the Chiefs will likely have to bring in another back.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is expected to land on injured reserve with the fibula injury he suffered Sunday vs. the Bengals.

Pacheco will miss a minimum of four weeks and quite possibly longer, per Schefter's sources. He is undergoing additional testing today to determine the full damage, according to the rest of the post, but the injury did not look good. For now, Steele and Perine are expected to split the RB duties with Steele likely getting early down carries and Perine the passing down back. CEH is on the NFI list, reportedly for mental health issues. He will need to miss the first four games but there hasn't been a timetable for his return. The Chiefs will likely have to make a move at the position, at least until CEH is able to come back.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco left the stadium Sunday on crutches and in a walking boot after durian ankle injury against the Bengals.

Pacheco limped off the sideline during the fourth quarter. He will get X-rays and tests done Monday to find out the extent of the injury. If he misses any time, Carson Steele and Clyde Edwards-Helaire will likely split time in the backfield. Keep a close eye on the results Monday.
