The Kansas City Chiefs are focused on recovering from their first loss of the season, which came in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills. Despite enduring numerous injuries, particularly on offense, there are signs that the team’s situation may be improving. On Wednesday, every active player on the roster participated in practice, marking a positive development as the Chiefs prepare for the final stretch of the regular season. Notably, running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu were both on the field. Both players had spent much of the season on injured reserve but were activated last week. While neither played in the loss to the Bills, their participation in practice is encouraging for their potential return in the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers.
In a press conference after practice, head coach Andy Reid addressed the possibility of both Pacheco and Omenihu playing on Sunday. “We’ll evaluate them through the week and see where they’re at,” Reid explained. “It’s a day-by-day process.” The Chiefs are cautiously optimistic as they prepare for their next matchup.
Reid also provided an update on receiver Marquise Brown, who hinted at a potential return through his social media. “He’s making great progress,” Reid said. “I can’t give a specific timeline, but he’s eager to return and has been very dedicated in his recovery.” The coach expressed appreciation for Brown’s approach to the rehabilitation process.
The Chiefs are hoping to regain their full strength in time for the final weeks of the regular season and the playoff push, with key players like Pacheco, Omenihu, and Brown potentially contributing in the near future.
