The Kansas City Chiefs are facing the possibility of losing Isaiah Pacheco for the rest of the season after the 25-year-old running back suffered a fractured right tibia in a 26-25 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, NFL Network reports. ( zbet911 )

zbet911s Pacheco had 19 carries for 90 yards and five catches for 21 yards before suffering the injury, and it was later reported that the 25-year-old running back had a fractured tibia and was set to undergo surgery this week.  zbet911s

Initial assessments indicate he will be out for at least six weeks, but the Chiefs will be able to provide a timeframe for his recovery after surgery and he is likely to miss the rest of the season. ( zbet911s )

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed Pacheco has a right tibia injury but declined to speculate on a timeframe for the 25-year-old running back, saying, “It’s going to take a little while.” 

The typical recovery time frame for a player with a tibia fracture is between four and eight weeks, depending on the severity of the injury, so the Chiefs will likely be without Pacheco for at least a month, if not longer.

Pacheco’s injury is a direct blow to the Chiefs’ offense, which already has veteran wide receiver Marquise Brown out of shoulder surgery and running back Clyde Edwards-Helier on the non-football injured list. Rookie running back Carson Steele is expected to step up to a larger role in taking on the ball-carrying burden from 28-year-old running back Semaji Pyrein.
