Isiah Pacheco of the Kansas City Chiefs exited Wednesday's game against the Steelers due to a rib injury, having recorded six carries for 18 yards before leaving. Prior to this, he was expected to return from a fractured right fibula, which had sidelined him for nine games. His potential return could impact the Chiefs' backfield dynamics, particularly with Kareem Hunt stepping up in his absence.

• Pacheco's rib injury could limit his availability moving forward.
• Kareem Hunt is likely to see increased touches in Pacheco's absence.
