Lions running back Isiah Pacheco has picked up another injury.
Pacheco sprained his MCL earlier this month and head coach Dan Campbell said at the time that the team thought Pacheco would be able to return for Week 1. On Thursday, Campbell said that Pacheco is now dealing with a back injury and that his status for the opener is unclear.
“I can’t give you anything definitive,” Campbell said at a press conference.
Campbell did say that the knee is not “a concern” when it comes to Pacheco’s availability.
The Lions met with free agent Kareem Hunt earlier this week and any move to add options in the backfield could be a sign that they don’t think Pacheco will be ready to go against the Saints.
