The Kansas City Chiefs’ starting running back Isiah Pacheco missed nine games of the 2024 season with a fractured fibula, allowing the team to bring Kareem Hunt back for the first time since his 2018 release.
Pacheco ended up gaining just 310 yards (and a touchdown) on 83 attempts over six regular-season games — a career-low 3.7 yards per attempt.
Hunt has been re-signed for 2025. The team has also brought in former San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Johnson — and is widely considered to be prioritizing acquiring another one from the NFL Draft’s deep class of running backs.
