Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco made his return from injury in Week 13.

However, Pacheco is off to a terrible start in the Week 13 game against the Dallas Cowboys thanks to a very limited workload.
Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is Isiah Pacheco playing today?
Yes, Pacheco is active and healthy, but it's pretty clear the Chiefs are limiting his workload in his first game back.
Instead of splitting their backfield touches, the Chiefs are leaning heavily into Kareem Hunt, which is at least somewhat surprising considering he just had 30 carries on Sunday.
