NFL Rumors: Chiefs’ update on Kadarius Toney, Isiah Pacheco

It’s the NFL preseason, which means it’s time for franchises to start boarding the hype train. The reigning Super Bowl champs have garnered mixed reviews of 2023 training camp so far from Kadarius Toney’s knee injury to Travis Kelce’s reckless punch, but make no mistake, their hype train is packed to the brim and ready to leave the station.

In the latest update out of Chiefs camp, general manager Brett Veach delivered the words every fan wanted to hear. Well, other than: “We have agreed to an extension with Chris Jones.”

Both Toney and running back Isiah Pacheco are reportedly on track to play in Week 1. Veach said the team was in a “good place with those guys” and should see them on the field sooner rather than later.

Veach told ESPN:

"“Organizationally, we feel pretty good those guys will be ready to play, barring no setbacks. I think we’re in a good place with both of those guys.”"

Toney underwent knee surgery after tearing his meniscus on the first day of training camp; Pacheco has had various surgeries for his hand and shoulder this offseason and was a limited participant in camp.

The good news is both starting weapons should be available come the Chiefs’ first regular season game, September 7 against the Lions. How each player performs after injury will be a different story.
