Pacheco Out for Season with Back Surgery | Detroit Lions News

Detroit Lions running back Isaiah Pacheco is sidelined for the foreseeable future after emergency back surgery to address severe nerve pain — a setback that now sidelines him for roughly 12 weeks, meaning he’ll miss the bulk of the season. With Pacheco out, Jahmyr Gibbs takes on a heavier workload, backed by Craig Reynolds and Zonovan Knight, while the team may look to add depth at RB. This injury hits hard for both player and franchise as they navigate a crucial stretch without their key backfield asset.
