Who will start in place of Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco? 

With Pacheco heading to injured reserve, the Chiefs now have three running backs on the 53-man roster: Carson Steele, Samaje Perine, and Keaontay Ingram. Don't let the depth chart fool you, Steele is more halfback than fullback. He's likely to get the first crack at the early down work in Kansas City because of his tough running style. 

Chiefs HC Andy Reid did not rule out the possibility that Kareem Hunt could play in Week 3 after first joining the team's practice squad on Wednesday. Saturday is the last juncture that the team could elevate Hunt from the practice squad or sign him to the 53-man roster ahead of the game.

No matter who gets the lead duties, this will be a backfield-by-committee situation unless a workhorse emerges. Don't be shocked if you see something creative, too. Someone like LB Leo Chenal could get some carries.

Will Taylor Swift attend the Chiefs' first away game?

Swift has attended each of the Chiefs' Week 1 game against the Baltimore Ravens and Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. This is the first road game of the 2024 NFL season for Kansas City, which hasn't stopped Swift from attending before. She was at plenty of away games last season to see her boyfriend, Chiefs TE Travis Kelce, play. 

Swift doesn't have any known scheduling conflicts for this upcoming game. Our Sophie Weller reports that Swift should be able to attend 14 of 17 possible games this season. Swift attended 13 total Chiefs games a season ago
