KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu returned to the Kansas City Chiefs in time to face the AFC West rival Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.

The Raiders were shorthanded at running back with Alexander Mattison out with an ankle injury and Zamir White out with a quadriceps injury. This meant that Ameer Abdullah, Dylan Laube and Sincere McCormick were available for the training group.

Aidan O’Connell started at quarterback for Las Vegas after Gardner Minshew broke his collarbone against Denver last week.

After the Dolphins lost to Green Bay on Thursday night, the Chiefs only needed to beat the Raiders for the eighth time in their last nine meetings to secure their 10th straight playoff berth. The Patriots hold the NFL record with 11 straight games.

Pacheco has been out since Week 2 when he broke his right fibula against Cincinnati. Omenihu has been sidelined since tearing an ACL in his right knee during last year’s playoff run, an injury that caused him to miss the Super Bowl victory.

When he returns, Pacheco is expected to share duties with Kareem Hunt, who played well in his absence.

“When they’re ready to play, we’re pretty confident in who they are and how much they can help us,” Kansas City offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said this week, “and we’re excited.”

Omenihu should help a Chiefs pass rush that has just 21 sacks, better only than four other teams in the NFL this season.

As expected, Matthew Wright was active against the Raiders to handle kicking duties. Spencer Shrader, who suffered a hamstring strain earlier in the week, had already replaced Harrison Butker, who is on the injury bench following knee surgery.

Offensive players CJ Hanson, Ethan Driskell and DJ Humphries and defensive players Marlon Tuipulotu and Malik Herring were also inactive for Kansas City. Humphries, a former Pro Bowl pick with Arizona, joined the team this week after completing his rehab from an ACL injury and hopes to help out at left tackle in the coming weeks.

“We’re just playing it by ear,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said this week. “I told him, ‘Let’s just keep the lines of communication open and we’ll figure it out.’ That’s what we did with the other people that came in, and we’re just going to keep the communication open. He seems like a guy who’ll shoot you on sight, so that’s what I expect.”

The Chiefs also promoted tight end Anthony Firkser after placing Peyton Hendershot on IR to provide depth against Las Vegas.

In addition to the injuries to Minshew and their backfield, the Raiders were without cornerback Nate Hobbs, who has an ankle injury, and cornerback Jakorian Bennett, who was placed on IR because of a shoulder injury he suffered a few weeks ago.

The Raiders signed wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. and cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly from the practice squad for the game against Kansas City. Their other inactives were tight end Harrison Bryant, offensive lineman Cody Whitehair, defensive lineman Matthew Butler and wide receiver Ramel Keyton.
