Kansas City may not make the transaction official until later in the week, but once Pacheco lands on IR, he won't be eligible to play in at least the next four games.
Schefter suggests that Pacheco's recovery timeline could extend beyond four games, though the Chiefs won't have a clearer idea for how much time the running back might miss until he undergoes an MRI on Monday to determine if he suffered a fracture or ligament damage to his ankle.
Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are next up for carries in the Kansas City backfield, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) could also factor into the backfield equation once he comes off the reserve/non-football illness list.
