Lions Navigate Pacheco’s Absence | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions are adjusting to life without Isiah Pacheco, who’s sidelined for the first four games after being placed on injured reserve. With Pacheco out, head coach Dan Campbell is turning to a committee approach featuring Jacob Saylors and Sione Vaki to support star running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Saylors brings special teams firepower and game experience, while Vaki, a rookie draft pick, has shown versatility in practice as a runner, receiver, and blocker. The Lions also re-signed Jabari Small to bolster depth, setting up a crucial battle for reps as they navigate this unexpected roster shake-up.
