KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will likely be placed on the injured list after suffering a right ankle injury in the final minutes of Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, a person familiar with the injury told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because Pacheco was undergoing additional tests and the team was not ready to release the results. Pacheco had X-rays on Sunday evening and was pending an MRI of the ankle.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid was scheduled to speak to reporters from Kansas City later Monday.

Pacheco was seen leaving Arrowhead Stadium in walking boots and on crutches shortly after Harrison Butker kicked a late 51-yard field goal that gave the Super Bowl champions a 26-25 victory over the Bengals. Pacheco was injured on the first play of that final possession when he fell forward into the offensive line, apparently spraining his ankle.

The Chiefs, who placed wide receiver Marquise Brown on the injured list last week because of impending shoulder surgery, were already shorthanded at the running back position. Clyde Edwards-Helaire is on the non-football illness list and must miss two more regular-season games before he can return to the active roster.

Undrafted rookie Carson Steele, who had seven carries for 24 yards but also lost a fumble on Sunday, and Samaje Perine, who signed with Kansas City on Aug. 30 and played just nine snaps against the Bengals, are the only other active running backs.

Keaontay Ingram and Emani Bailey are available for the Chiefs’ practice squad.

Pacheco, who was part of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship teams, ran for 45 yards and a touchdown in their season-opening win over Baltimore, and ran for 90 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game on Sunday.
