Isiah Pacheco Ruled Out for Week 11, Kareem Hunt to Lead Chiefs Backfield

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been officially ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Broncos. He is the only Chiefs player with an injury designation this weekend, having not practiced all week (Nov 12-14). Pacheco, who signed a four-year, $3.74 million contract in May 2022, missed most of the 2024 season with a broken fibula, returning in Week 13 but averaging only 3.4 YPC in a rotational role. By June 2025, he had regained muscle and was expected to contend for the lead-back role. His absence means Kareem Hunt is poised to lead the backfield, as Hunt handled 11 of 16 RB carries and two targets on an 81% snap rate in the Week 9 loss to Buffalo. Pacheco's 4.37 speed and violent running style make him a unique fit for the Chiefs' offense, though his durability has been a concern.

Kareem Hunt Poised for Lead Back Role in Week 11 with Pacheco Out

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is poised to lead the backfield in Sunday's Week 11 game against the Broncos, as Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out. Hunt previously handled 11 of 16 running back carries and two targets on an 81% snap rate in the Week 9 loss to Buffalo. Hunt's career includes winning the NFL rushing crown as a rookie with the Chiefs. After joining the Browns in 2019 following a suspension, he served as a productive complement to Nick Chubb, excelling in red zone and passing-down work. In 2023 with the Browns, he scored nine rushing touchdowns despite averaging 3.0 YPC. Now a free agent, his future beyond this season is uncertain, but his proven three-down talent and elusiveness make him a valuable asset for the Chiefs in Pacheco's absence.
