Falcons vs. Chiefs Injury Report – Week 3, 2024
See who's in and who's out for the Week 3 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons on September 22, 2024.SEPTEMBER 18 • DATA SKRIVE
No complications with surgery Pacheco (fibula) had successful surgery Wednesday and is still expected to return in 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact There were no complications or ligament damage, which means Pacheco has a good chance to play again this season. It won't happen until November, or perhaps even December, but he's still worth keeping on fantasy rosters given his potential to put up big numbers down the stretch. In the meantime, Carson Steele and Samaje Perine are Kansas City's top candidates for backfield snaps, with Keaontay Ingram also joining the active roster and Kareem Hunt recently signed to the practice squad.

Chiefs hope to have Kareem Hunt active in the next couple weeks after losing Isiah Pacheco to injury
The Chiefs hope to have Kareem Hunt on the field in the next couple of weeks, once the veteran running back is able to get up to speed with the offenseSEPTEMBER 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joins active roster Ingram has been signed to the Chiefs' active roster.
Impact With Isiah Pacheco (leg) having landed on IR and out indefinitely, Ingram will bolster Kansas City's backfield depth ahead of Week 3 action. For now, Carson Steele and Samaje Perine are the other RBs on the team's active roster, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the reserve/non-football illness and Kareem Hunt having just been officially added to the practice squad. For now, Ingram figures to work in a depth role, though once Hunt is up to speed with the offense, he could be elevated and move ahead of Ingram on the team's depth chart.

Officially on IR Pacheco (fibula) has been placed on IR by the Chiefs.
Impact Per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site, Pacheco is slated to undergo surgery Wednesday, after which the team may have a better idea of how long the running back will miss. In any case, Pacheco will be sidelined at least four games, with Carson Steele, Samaje Perine and Keaontay Ingram currently on the team's active roster, Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the reserve/non-football illness list, and Kareem Hunt on Kansas City's practice squad.

Logs seven tackles vs. Cincinnati Tranquill registered seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.
Impact Tranquill tied with Nick Bolton and Justin Reid for the most tackles on the Chiefs on Sunday. Tranquill played just 48 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps, but the 2019 fourth-round pick remains a key piece to Kansas City's run defense. Tranquill will have his hands full against running back Bijan Robinson and the Falcons in Week 3.

Has scoop-and-score vs. Cincy Conner finished Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals with six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned a fumble for a 38-yard touchdown.
Impact Conner played just 29 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps Sunday, but the 2023 fourth-round pick made the most of his playing time. He scooped up a Joe Burrow fumble caused by Tershawn Wharton and returned it for a 38-yard touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a one-point lead. Conner made another high-impact play late in the fourth frame, when he sacked Burrow for nine yards on third down, which led to a Bengals punt and the eventual game-winning 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired. Conner should see plenty of work in pass coverage against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons in Week 3.

Registers seven tackles vs. Bengals Bolton logged seven tackles (five solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 26-25 victory over Cincinnati.
Impact Bolton has registered seven tackles in back-to-back weeks, and he tied Drue Tranquill and Justin Reid for most tackles on the Chiefs on Sunday. Bolton is on pace to finish the regular season with 119 tackles, which would be the third time in his career that he has tallied at least 100 tackles in a season. Bolton and the Chiefs will travel to Atlanta to take on Kirk Cousins and the Falcons in Week 3.

No impression on Week 2 box score Gray went untargeted during Sunday's 26-25 victory over Cincinnati.
Impact On a more positive note, Gray still played 57 percent of the offensive snaps in the game, marking a slight bump from his playing time in the opener against the Ravens. Still, he's unlikely to compile worthwhile fantasy totals while serving in the second-string role at tight end, especially with an additional weapon available to Patrick Mahomes in rookie Xavier Worthy, and with second-year wideout Rashee Rice still gobbling up a hefty target share. Gray could enter the conversation a bit more should Travis Kelce miss some time.

Minimal run in Week 2 Moore logged just five snaps in Sunday's game versus the Bengals.
Impact Moore played just eight percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, ranking fifth among wideouts in the category. The third-year wideout has clearly fallen behind in the pecking order for playing time at this point and is best left on the waiver wire in nearly all formats, barring multiple injuries at the position that would open up playing time.
