Dan Campbell provides update on Isiah Pacheco's surgery and recovery timeline

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced that running back Isiah Pacheco underwent surgery and will be out for an extended period. Pacheco's situation has deteriorated after initially suffering a sprained MCL during training camp, followed by a back issue that led to his placement on injured reserve before Week 1. Campbell confirmed that the injury will likely keep Pacheco sidelined considerably longer than the initial expected four-game absence. With Pacheco unavailable, Jahmyr Gibbs will assume a larger role in the Lions' backfield, following his performance in the team's recent overtime victory against New Orleans.
