Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has not confirmed whether running back Isiah Pacheco will play against the Panthers this weekend, describing his status as 'day by day.' Pacheco returned to practice last week with limited sessions, and while there's optimism about his health for Week 12, the team may choose to rest him as a precaution. If Pacheco is unable to play, Kareem Hunt is expected to step up as a top-12 running back option.
- Isiah Pacheco's status for Week 12 remains uncertain.
- Kareem Hunt could be a strong RB option if Pacheco is ruled out.
