Chiefs Pacheco fractured his Fibula - Page 3

Being a CP member, did it affect your 4.3 speed when you returned?

Got faster, obviously!

Not season ending, I hope…

McKinnon still in shape?

Probably won't see him for a while.

Bring a RB up, move on. It happens.

I'm reading this as Pacheco will for sure be back by Halloween. Thank you!

Next man up!

Probably not too bad of a fracture judging by how he was able to walk afterwards but this sucks ass. RB has very little depth and this is going to hurt and Pacheco is one of my favorites.

Steele, come on down!

Its about who's healthiest at the right time so if they're going to happen may as well front load them in the season

Probably looking at Perine in the West role and Steele as Ware. A roles timeshare unless one of them really steps up. We'll be okay.

Maybe he gets hurt again. But having Dobbins in town just to resign CEH is looking terrible.

With Pacheco’s style…to rely on him with minimal behind him was not a smart move.

Oh well. Lucky for us the only thing that matters is if he’s back for the playoffs

Stop using google. Seriously.

Google is nothing more than snake oil salesman disguised as a search engine.

Same.

If it's just a fibula, I'm betting he's back in a month or so. That's really a pretty easy injury.

If it's down in the ankle, though, that could be a real long time out.

that's kind of my thought, looking at the silver lining... the other RBs will get some reps in and Pop will be 100% and fresh when the Chiefs need him the most.
