Chiefs eye return of WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, RB Isiah Pacheco

Nov 11, 2024

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
