Pacheco sidelined with MCL sprain; Campbell optimistic but health uncertain

Pacheco, the Lions' presumed RB2, has been sidelined with an MCL sprain heading into the regular season. Coach Dan Campbell expressed confidence two weeks prior, stating 'We feel pretty good about him being ready to go, certainly when the season gets here. So, I'm not concerned about that.' However, his health status remains an unknown variable for the Lions' backfield. In 2024, Pacheco managed only 462 yards and one rushing touchdown despite starting 12 games, underperforming relative to Kareem Hunt's 611 yards and eight touchdowns.
