Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will return for the Thanksgiving Day game against the host Dallas Cowboys, head coach Andy Reid told reporters Tuesday.

Pacheco missed three games for the Chiefs (6-5) after sustaining a sprained MCL in his right knee during a 28-7 win against the Washington Commanders on Oct. 27.

Pacheco, 26, has rushed for 329 yards with one touchdown in eight games this season. He also has 11 catches for 43 yards and a score.

Pacheco was limited to seven games last season after he fractured the fibula in his right leg in a Week 2 meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals.

A seventh-round draft pick in 2022, Pacheco has accumulated 2,900 yards and 17 touchdowns from scrimmage in 46 games (38 starts) with the Chiefs.

With Pacheco sidelined, veteran Kareem Hunt started the past three games and rushed for 212 yards and three touchdowns.

The Chiefs are 1-4 away from home this season heading into the Thursday showdown with the Cowboys (5-5-1) in Arlington, Texas.
