Kareem Hunt has filled in admirably for Pacheco, who suffered a fractured fibula in his right leg in the Week 2 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Hunt’s 509 rushing yards and five touchdowns lead the team, and he’s been a big part of an offense that tops the NFL in third-down conversion success as 51.9%.

The Chiefs designated Isiah Pacheco to return from IR ahead of Week 11. It sounds like he will be ready to play in Week 12 against the Panthers.
