Pacheco made Kansas City's initial 53-man roster along with running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon and Ronald Jones.
It's unknown who will get the initial chance to spell Edwards-Helaire, but Pacheco, a 2022 seventh-round pick, flashed some during the preseason, notching 16 carries for 66 yards (4.1 YPC) and reeling in all three targets for 21 yards. Even with McKinnon and Jones also making the team, Pacheco may still be able to see snaps on offense right away due to his all-around ability.
