Chiefs list Ronald Jones as RB4.

McKinnon is listed as the team's RB2 with the rookie Pacheco getting the RB3 nod. Pacheco will also return kickoffs. CEH is the team's RB1, which isn't a surprise. However in the playoffs last year the team seemed to go away from him at times, giving McKinnon more of a workload.

RB Ronald Jones made the initial 53-player roster, according to a source.

Jones played his way onto the roster with a strong Week 3 of preseason, the tweet went on to say. He ran 8 times for 43 yards and caught a four-yard pass. He's at least behind CEH and McKinnon on the depth chart, and he could even fall behind seventh-round rookie Pacheco.

Ronald Jones didn't touch the ball during the team's second preseason game, logging nine snaps, two of which he was asked to stay in to pass block.

This should help continue Pachecho's recent streak up draft boards, but it feels like this writing has been on the wall throughout most of the summer. While this may clear some breathing room for the rest of the Kansas City running back room, there's always a chance Jones signs with someone and clogs up their depth chart, say, the Philadelphia Eagles.

By all accounts from Chiefs camp, Isiah Pacheco has been impressive out of the backfield — displaying a strong ability to both run it and catch it. Perhaps as a signal of how important he could be to the offense, he played only eight snaps in Kansas City’s preseason opener. He took a pair of carries for 6 yards and caught a 5-yard pass.

According to the story, offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy called Pacheco “a very confident young man.” He added Pacheco plays hard and he's doing a great job and has a great work ethic. He also said one of the toughest things is allowing the game to come to him and learning to be patient. Keep in mind Pacheco is a seventh round pick and is still battling veterans like CEH, McKinnon and Jones. However at this point, nothing seems set in stone when it comes to this backfield. The team clearly went away from CEH in the playoffs last year and McKinnon seemed to be more trusted. Snaps and touches could be up for grabs here.

Name to watch: Isiah Pacheco. 7th-round RB (216 pound with 4.3 speed) is lighting up camp. Got Kareem Hunt traits, a gear Hunt didn't have.

The Chiefs RB duties could be up for grabs this year as it's not a loaded backfield. The team seemed to go away from CEH at the end of last year in favor of McKinnon, although CEH is getting most of the first team work, according to reports. Pacheco is certainly a name to keep an eye on when the dust settles in KC.

When it comes to running backs with the Chiefs’ first team, it’s been Clyde Edwards-Helaire taking the first rep almost every series.

The tweet went on to say McKinnon has usually been the next up with Pacheco, Jones and Gore mixing in from time to time. It's obviously not great news for Jones, but we're still early in the game as far as camp goes.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed RB Ronald Jones to a one-year deal.

Jones' addition means that the Chiefs will be making some cuts at running back as time gets closer to the regular season. Jones is no lock to make the roster, but his two seasons of 1,000-plus yards from scrimmage gives him a leg up over McKinnon (injury history) and Williams (ineffective). Jones is a zero in the passing game, so if he does stick with the Chiefs, he will be used in short yard situations or as an injury replacement.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) is questionable to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

If we're being honest, Williams does not offer anything McKinnon and CEH don't. If sitting Sunday as touchdown favorites puts Williams in line to play past Sunday, it may benefit the Chiefs.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams was limited during Thursday's practice.

This is concerning after Williams was a full participant Wednesday. Expect Williams to be no better than questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Bengals.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) will not play Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills.
