NFL News: Andy Reid reveals Chiefs could lose another star player for rest of the season with big injury

Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs have started their quest for a third consecutive Super Bowl with two very solid wins against the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Last season, the offense looked like the weak spot, but, right now everything is clicking early with explosive names like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy combined with all the experience from a great veteran such as Travis Kelce.

However, injuries are a key factor in the NFL and that could derail all championship hopes for the Chiefs. Although Patrick Mahomes keeps resisting with new names, there’s another crushing loss.

Who’s injured with Chiefs?

Andy Reid confirmed that the Kansas City Chiefs might lose running back Isiah Pacheco for a long period of time because of a fractured fibula. That will be the second offensive star done for the year after Hollywood Brown.

“Isiah has been put on Injured Reserve. He is having surgery today. I can’t give you a time when he’ll return, but we’ll just see if it’s this season or next season. We’ll see how he does.”
