The Kansas City Chiefs are on the brink of getting a key reinforcement on the defensive side of the ball. Chiefs DE Charles Omenihu suffered a season-ending ACL tear during last year's AFC Championship Game.

Kareem Hunt has filled in admirably for Pacheco, who suffered a fractured fibula in his right leg in the Week 2 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Hunt’s 509 rushing yards and five touchdowns lead the team, and he’s been a big part of an offense that tops the NFL in third-down conversion success as 51.9%.

In the midst of a season ravaged by injuries, the Kansas City Chiefs have seen progress from two key returning players as running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu have worked their way back to the field after lengthy absences.
