Detroit Lions running back Isiah Pacheco undergoes back surgery and is expected to miss a significant amount of time, according to multiple reports. Head coach Dan Campbell says Pacheco will be out for a substantial period as he recovers.
The reports note that Pacheco has already been placed on injured reserve earlier in the season due to the injury. CBS Sports adds a more specific timeline, reporting a recovery window of roughly 12 weeks and suggesting he could return in December. Other outlets focus on the likelihood that he will miss another extended stretch without specifying an exact date.
Across the coverage, the common points are that the injury involved Pacheco’s back, surgery has occurred, and his return is uncertain but likely delayed by weeks. The difference mainly concerns the level of detail on how long he may be sidelined and when he might resume playing.
