What happened
The Detroit Lions’ revamped backfield has already suffered a significant setback just one week into the season. Running back Isiah Pacheco is expected to miss an extended period after undergoing surgery to remove a loose body that was pressing against a nerve in his back. The recovery could keep Pacheco sidelined for approximately 12 weeks, potentially putting an early December return in play.
