Chiefs active Isiah Pacheco, Charles Omenihu for Black Friday game against the Raiders

Associated Press  

— The Kansas City Chiefs activated running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu on Thursday, and both are expected to be on the field when the Super Bowl champions play the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. “Charles’ versatility, going inside and out, adds another level of depth to our defense, especially the D-line,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said. It’s always good to get more pass rushers on the field.” As expected, the Chiefs ruled out fill-in kicker Spencer Shrader — who had been replacing the injured Harrison Butker — after he strained his hamstring earlier in the week. “Again, he’s another one that’s coming back to us,” Reid said of Firkser, who played at Harvard, “so we’re familiar with him and kind of what he can do.
