Sources: The #Chiefs are planning to designate RB Isiah Pacheco and DL Charles Omenihu to return from IR this week.

The 9-0 Chiefs, the last remaining undefeated team, are starting to get healthier. A scary sight. pic.twitter.com/iWH55qnpdS

Isn’t he out for the year? Has that changed?

Exactly. If the staff thinks he's ready, he should play. Holding him out for no reason accomplishes nothing.

This is how I feel exactly.

If they could all be back by the first game in December, that would be great.

We've got the Bills this week and then Panthers and Raiders. The latter 2 should be layups.

Get em back healthy for the Chargers and moving forward and we should be good. Hopefully they'll be up to speed by playoff time.

Could mean anything but I’d guess he’s referring to a snake coiled up and ready to strike.

This is what he means.

Can't happen soon enough. We need more weapons and pass rushers on the field as soon as practical.

Definitely wouldn't be counting on Omenihu right away

Yeah. With our record, we really can't afford any more losses. :-)

Well you have to get them in there at least for a few plays. Practice and be in "physical condition" all you want, but there's also the mental aspect of the game speed that takes a bit to get back. Get them some snaps in non-critical situations and let them remember how fast things happen and what it feels like to get whacked full speed.

You do realize who they play this weekend, right?

Don’t rush anyone back, let’s have everyone healthy for the playoffs!

It’s not about the results. It’s about the fact that Hunt is getting dinged up in every game now, because before Sunday Andy was running him at a 300+ carry rate/season.

It’s about the fact that Pat isn’t playing his best right now in part because of the lack of reliable weapons.

It’s about the fact that the defense is not stopping them every time anymore. They allowed a rookie QB that we were all laughing at because he had the lowest CPOE in the league (below -8%) before coming into Arrowhead and lighting up our secondary, allegedly a top-5 unit, including making McDuffie look like a JAG several times.

We lucked out that Toub’s ST unit blocked the game-winning 35-yd FG attempt.

And that’s not a good offense.

So, yeah, I’m 100% in favor of getting some fresh players on the field to shore things up a little, and maybe give guys like Kareem a little bit of a breather before the playoffs. Seems reasonable to me.
