Chiefs Activate Pacheco and Omenihu for Raiders Game

The Kansas City Chiefs have activated running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu for their upcoming Black Friday game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Pacheco, who had been sidelined since Week 2 with a fractured fibula, and Omenihu, recovering from a torn ACL sustained during the AFC Championship Game, were confirmed to play by head coach Andy Reid. Both players were full participants in recent practices, signaling a readiness to return to action. Patrick Mahomes expressed optimism about Pacheco's return, emphasizing the team's ability to gradually re-integrate him without overburdening him, thanks to a strong running back group led by Kareem Hunt during Pacheco's absence. The Chiefs currently have one of the NFL's most successful rushing games, bolstered by Hunt's consistent performance. The matchup against the Raiders is crucial as the Chiefs aim for their 11th win of the season.
