According to Rapoport, Pacheco left Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night wearing walking shoes and crutches after his team defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 26-25.

Pacheco appeared to have sustained the injury after being tackled by two Bengals defenders on Kansas City's final drive of the fourth quarter. He left the game and did not return.
