Pacheco Out, Lions Adjust RB Depth | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions take a hit as rookie running back Isiah Pacheco goes on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games — including matchups against the Saints, Bills, Jets, and Panthers. With his return potentially set for October 11th, just before the bye, Jahmyr Gibbs now faces a deeper backup room featuring Jacob Saylors, Sione Vaki, and Jabari Small — with Saylors impressing in preseason action. Coach Campbell stresses the value of players who know the system. Pacheco’s injury woes continue after a solid 2022 season with the Chiefs, where he battled multiple setbacks. To fill the roster spot, the Lions re-signed tight end Tyler Conklin and bolstered the practice squad with guard Elijah Klein and receiver Dominic Lovett.
