Who Should I Start? Gus Edwards or Isiah Pacheco

Friday, March 7, 7:32 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers have informed veteran running back Gus Edwards that he will be released in the coming days, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Edwards appeared in just 11 games in 2024, his only season with the Chargers, rushing for 365 yards and four touchdowns on 101 carries. With Edwards now a free-agent, the Chargers could have an entirely revamped backfield in 2025 with J.K. Dobbins also an unrestricted free-agent. There is a good chance the Chargers target a running back in the 2025 NFL draft in what is shaping up as a loaded class at the position. Edwards will now look to latch on with another team as an early-down and short-yardage grinder.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) will return to practice on Wednesday, according to Matt McMullen of Chiefs.com. While Pacheco isn't a lock to play in a Week 12 showdown against the Indianapolis Colts, the fact that he's back at practice is a good sign for his availability. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Week 8 and was unable to return coming out of a bye to face the division-rival Denver Broncos last Sunday. Injuries have stunted Pacheco's progress over the last two years, and in eight games in 2025, he's gone for only 329 rushing yards and one touchdown on 78 carries, adding 11 receptions for 43 yards and another score. Pacheco will have a role in KC's backfield when he returns, but Kareem Hunt will remain a thorn in his side as the team's preferred goal-line option.
