The Detroit Lions place running back Isiah Pacheco on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Multiple reports state the team is also adding a wide receiver to the practice squad as part of roster adjustments.
The transactions place a short-term limit on Pacheco’s availability while the Lions prepare their backfield for upcoming matchups. One outlet notes that Pacheco is eligible to return from IR ahead of Detroit’s Week 5 game against the Arizona Cardinals, suggesting the earliest return timeline aligns with that week.
While the specific roster move beyond the IR placement is described as adding a WR to the practice squad, the core reporting across sources is consistent: Pacheco is placed on IR and is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of four games at the start of the season.
