Another injury befalls the Chiefs as they strive for their third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
Before suffering the injury, Isiah Pacheco was only beginning to gain momentum.
On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs faced another obstacle in their pursuit of winning three consecutive Super Bowl titles, despite moving to a 2-0 record with a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
It is reported that Isiah Pacheco, the running back of the Kansas City Chiefs, is likely to be placed on the injured reserve after sustaining a fractured fibula in the final moments of the team's 26-25 victory.
Pacheco will miss time due to a broken leg, with the extent of his absence still uncertain. He is expected to undergo more tests on Monday.
The former Rutgers standout was among the players from Kansas City's 2022 rookie draft class who had a breakout year en route to consecutive Super Bowl titles. He had 935 rushing yards and seven touchdowns last year.
In Week 1, the Baltimore Ravens won 27-20 against the team, with Pacheco scoring against them.
The Kansas City team is facing a series of injuries, with wide receiver Marquise Brown missing the regular season and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire struggling with PTSD.
Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are next up on the depth chart.
