Pacheco Out for Start, Lions Hopeful | Detroit Lions News

Detroit Lions’ new running back Isiah Pacheco is sidelined for the first four games after being placed on injured reserve due to an MCL sprain and recent back injury. Acquired to bolster the backfield alongside Jahmyr Gibbs, Pacheco brings championship pedigree from his time with the Chiefs — but a broken leg last season has raised questions about his explosiveness. Head coach Dan Campbell acknowledges the setback but remains hopeful Pacheco can return stronger, signaling this move was meant to be a fresh start for the former Super Bowl winner.
