Here is what the page “Isiah Pacheco Undergoes Back Surgery, Expected to Miss 12 Weeks as Lions Face Key Injury B” contains. Detroit Lions running back Isiah Pacheco is sidelined indefinitely after undergoing successful back surgery, according to multiple reports. The 24-year-old star, who joined the Lions in a high-profile offseason trade from the Kansas City Chiefs, is expected to miss approximately 12 weeks of play, potentially returning in December.

Pacheco, a former second-round pick, had been a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning offense before being traded to Detroit in March 2024.
