Injury roundup: Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) expected to play, WR Kadarius Toney (toe) game-time decision
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday versus the Bears, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source. But wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who had been listed as questionable with a toe injury, is a game-time decision, per Rapoport.
Pacheco did not participate in Wednesday’s practice due to his hamstring injury, but was limited in Thursday and Friday’s sessions. The second-year RB leads Kansas City in rush attempts (20) and rushing yards (93). Fellow running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has carried the ball seven times for 22 yards.
Toney was not able to practice in Wednesday and Thursday’s sessions. However, Toney was limited in the team’s final practice on Friday. Toney struggled in Kansas City’s first game of the season by only recording one catch on five targets. In the Week 2 game against the Jaguars, Toney caught all five of his targets for 35 receiving yards.
The Chiefs and Bears kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET.
