Isiah Pacheco injury update: Chiefs RB leaves game in fourth quarter vs. Bengals with ankle injury
The Chiefs escaped Sunday's Week 2 game against the Bengals with a win but Isiah Pacheco suffered a ankle injury in the process.
Patrick Mahomes needed to march Kansas City into field goal range to give his team a chance to pull off a comeback win.
The Chiefs tried to use Pacheco to spark the drive, handing off to their starting running back on two of the first three plays for the series. He had a gain of six yards on the first carry and was stopped by a pack of Bengals for a one-yard gain on the second.
Pacheco came up hobbling after taking a hit from multiple angles and did not return for the final two minutes.
Kansas City got some help from a defensive pass interference call on fourth-and-long, setting up a game-winning 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired.
The Chiefs advanced to 2-0 win the victory but Pacheco's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Week 3.

Pacheco was removed from the game at the two-minute warning and did not return.
One potentially positive sign: The broadcast did show Pacheco on his feet celebrating with the team after Butker's game-winning 51-yard field goal.
Pacheco had another strong game prior to the injury. He finished with 19 carries for 90 yards and added five receptions for 21 receiving yards.

How long is Isiah Pacheco out?
After the game, head coach Andy Reid said Pacheco is being evaluated for an ankle injury.
Pacheco is "getting tests and X-rays on his ankle and he doesn't know [the] extent [of the injury]," per ESPN's Jeff Darlington.
According to the Kansas City Star's Jesse Newell, Pacheco was visibly emotional as he sat in the locker room following Sunday's game.

Isiah Pacheco fantasy outlook
Pacheco will have one week to rest up ahead of the Chiefs' "Sunday Night Football" matchup against the Falcons in Week 3.
If he is unable to suit up, Pacheco fantasy owners should look to backup running back Samaje Perine or rookie fullback Carson Steele.
Perine was picked up by the Chiefs just before their season opener. The eight-year veteran hasn't had any carries yet this season but he has had moments in the passing game with two receptions for 13 yards.
Steele could be a sleeper pickup after toting seven carries for 24 yards against the Bengals. He also had two carries for three yards in Week 1 against the Ravens, looking like head coach Andy Reid's more favorable option in the ground game.
