Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is in a new role these days: a spectator.

Pacheco was placed on injured reserve Wednesday because he had suffered a broken fibula, so he wasn’t at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the Chiefs game Sunday against the Falcons.

But Chiefs teammates made sure to let Pacheco know they missed him while in Atlanta.

Wide receivers Skyy Moore, Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman donned Pacheco shirts during pregame warmups on Sunday night.

Pacheco posted a photo of his teammates to his Insta stories. This is really cool to see.
