After agreeing to trade running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, the Detroit Lions have now found his replacement in former Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco, the Daily Mail can confirm. 

The deal, which cannot become official until Wednesday at 4pm EST, was first reported by ESPN.

Pacheco, 27, has battled injury problems over the last two seasons after leading Kansas City in running yards en route to Super Bowl LVII and LVIII victories. He now steps in behind Lions starter and three-time Pro Bowl selection Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit’s backfield.

Contract details were not immediately available. The Daily Mail has requested further details from the Lions and Pacheco’s agent.
