KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Isiah Pacheco , the Kansas City Chiefs ' starting running back, is targeting a return to the lineup for Thursday afternoon's road game against the Dallas Cowboys , a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Pacheco, 26, has been out since Oct. 27, when he sustained a right knee injury in the victory over the Washington Commanders . By playing against the Cowboys, Pacheco will have 10 days to rest and recover before Week 14, when the Chiefs host the Houston Texans for a primetime game Dec. 7.

Without Pacheco, the Chiefs have leaned heavily on running back Kareem Hunt , the 30-year-old and nine-year veteran. In the Chiefs' comeback win Sunday over the Indianapolis Colts , Hunt recorded a season-high 30 rushing attempts for a season-high 104 yards and a touchdown.
