Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had surgery on his injured shoulder and will not play in Sunday's game at the New England Patriots. Chiefs coach Andy Reid called the procedure a cleanup surgery. Pacheco's injured shoulder is the same one on which he underwent surgery during the offseason. Pacheco also missed last week's game against the Buffalo Bills. Before that, he was fifth in the NFL in rushing with 779 yards. Without Pacheco against the Bills, Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed for 39 yards and Jerick McKinnon 19 yards and a touchdown. McKinnon caught three passes for 18 yards, Edwards-Helaire two for 29. The Chiefs also ruled out starting left tackle Donovan Smith for the second straight game because of a neck injury. Rookie Wanya Morris, a third-round draft pick, started in his place against the Bills.
