Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been officially placed on injured reserve due to a lower leg injury, specifically a fibula issue. He is set to undergo surgery, and while he will miss at least four games, the exact duration of his absence will be clearer post-surgery. The Chiefs are currently managing their backfield with several other running backs on the active roster.

• Pacheco's injury will significantly impact the Chiefs' running game.
• The team has several options to fill the void left by Pacheco, including Carson Steele and Samaje Perine.
