The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to have running back Isiah Pacheco back in action for Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Andy Reid announced that Pacheco, who has been out since October 27 due to a knee injury, will return to the lineup. Pacheco has accumulated 329 rushing yards and one touchdown in eight games this season, along with 11 receptions for 43 yards and an additional touchdown.
