The Kansas City Chiefs are placing receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown on the Injured Reserve list.
Brown is likely out for the regular season and set for surgery on his injured shoulder. Kansas City head coach Andy Reid foreshadowed the news when asked about Brown during a press conference on Friday. “It’s not going to be weeks, more like months,” Reid told reporters.
Brown hurt himself catching a pass against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the team’s preseason opener on August 10. Former Chiefs receiving Tyreek Hill suffered a shoulder injury in Jacksonville on an eerily similar play in 2019.
Brown signed a one-year, $7 million “prove-it” contract with the Chiefs this offseason following two subpar seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.
The 2019 first-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens posted his best NFL season back alongside his childhood teammate Lamar Jackson in 2021, catching 91 passes for 1008 yards and six touchdowns.
