4t “Pacheco just posted a gym story with the caption ‘See you soon’ – The entire Chiefs Kingdom screamed because they knew this Thanksgiving week ‘Pop’ would be back at GEHA Field”

Kansas City. MO. Just days before the Thanksgiving showdown with the Dallas Cowboys, the Kansas City Chiefs have received the uplifting news they desperately needed. Star running back Isiah Pacheco is officially trending toward a return

after missing the last three games with a knee injury.

Pacheco was listed as a full participant in Monday’s injury report, a massive step forward considering he has been out since Week 8 with an MCL sprain suffered late in the win over the Washington Commanders. His violent running style took a hit, but now signs point to the league’s most energetic back being ready for primetime once again.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler confirmed the momentum. “Pacheco is targeting a return Thursday versus the Cowboys,” he reported, noting that the team will make the final decision — but all signs are positive.

The timing could not be better for Kansas City. The offense has struggled to find consistency without Pacheco’s burst, vision and relentless energy. Before being sidelined, he posted 329 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, plus 11 catches for 43 yards and another score

, giving the Chiefs a spark that no other back on the roster has replicated.

The Chiefs are coming off a dramatic 23-20 overtime win against the Colts, a victory fueled largely by Patrick Mahomes’ heroics. A returning Pacheco gives Kansas City the chance to restore balance to the offense and make a late-season push with renewed firepower.

Thanksgiving football is always electric. But with Isiah Pacheco potentially back in the lineup, the Chiefs might just be getting the emotional and explosive boost they’ve been waiting for.

If Kansas City wants to surge down the stretch, Pacheco’s comeback could be the moment that flips the season.

Cowboys Veteran WR Speaks From the Heart After Dallas ICE Sh00ting Tragedy

Arlington, TX – September 25, 2025

Dallas is reeling after the deadly attack on a federal immigration detention facility earlier this week, where a lone gunman opened fire from a nearby rooftop, killing one detainee and leaving two others critically injured before taking his own life. Federal officials described the assault as ideologically motivated, pointing to shell casings etched with

“ANTI-ICE” that were recovered at the scene.

FBI Director Kash Patel condemned the attack, calling it part of a growing pattern of politically charged violence against law enforcement. It marked the third targeted incident at an ICE facility this year, and the second in Texas, intensifying scrutiny over national security and immigration enforcement.

For wide receiver Cole Beasley, the tragedy carries a painful weight. Born in Little Elm, Texas, roughly 40 kilometers from downtown Dallas, he grew up just outside the city now shaken by this violence.

“My heart is broken seeing my community on the news for something like this,” Beasley said. “Dallas is where I grew up, where I learned this game, and where so many of my friends and family still live. To lose innocent lives in such a senseless way—it cuts deep. I’ll fight in every way I can to stand for peace and unity back home.”

Beasley, who returned to the Cowboys this offseason on a one-year, $1.5 million deal, has carved out a familiar role as a dependable slot receiver. Through three weeks of the 2025 season, he’s posted eight receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown, becoming a steady third-down option alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

His presence brings not just production but leadership in a locker room adjusting to injuries and inconsistency on both sides of the ball. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer praised his professionalism earlier this month, calling him

“a calming voice in a group that needs it.”

But the tragedy in Dallas is a reminder that football, however consuming, doesn’t exist in isolation. For Beasley, now 34 and in his 8th season in Dallas across two stints, it underscores the responsibility athletes carry to speak up when their communities are hurting.

As the Cowboys prepare for Week 4, the veteran’s words echo beyond the field. His stats tell one story, but his voice in this moment tells another: a man determined not to let violence overshadow the resilience of the place he still calls home.
