As the KC Chiefs practice on Wednesday, Andy Reid provided updates on two missing players and the ongoing recoveries of RB Isiah Pacheco and DE Charles Omenihu.
are back at practice on Wednesday afternoon. With a Sunday matchup against the Denver Broncos on the horizon, the reigning Super Bowl champions have a quick turnaround before facing their AFC West foes.
Kansas City is still quite banged up on both sides of the ball as Week 10 arrives. A good handful of players are nursing short- and long-term injuries, and some will miss the first practice of the week. Head coach Andy Reid provided an update on the team's health on Wednesday, also giving a bit of insight on situations with running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu. While neither player is expected to return to practice this week, that window is closer to opening.
"Yeah, we're taking it week by week, day by day that whole deal," Reid said. "Then we've got to work through the doctors on that and the check-ups there. They're both doing great, they're both making progress. JuJu , the same way. We're getting close." Somehow, it's been nearly two months since Pacheco suffered a fractured fibula in Week 2's victory against the Cincinnati Bengals. The third-year halfback has been hard at work attempting to recover ever since. It's no surprise that he's still a bit away from being back, as Ian Rapoport ofOmenihu's absence has stretched months longer than Pacheco's.
Defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton, who played 43 combined snaps in Monday's win, suffered what Reid described as a knee contusion. Kansas City is merely exercising caution with him by holding him out of practice, as Reid didn't allude to the ailment being an issue to worry about.Jordan Foote is the deputy editor of Kansas City Chiefs On SI.
