The Kansas City Chiefs faced a setback in their preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars as wide receiver Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown sustained a shoulder injury. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed the injury after the game, expressing concerns about Brown's health status.
According to Reid, Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation, a similar injury to what Tyreek Hill had experienced in the past. Brown was taken to the hospital for further evaluation, and the team is awaiting updates on his condition.
The injury occurred during the first quarter of the game, and the Chiefs initially listed Brown as questionable to return. However, it was expected that he would sit out for the remainder of the game along with the other starters.
It is worth noting that the Chiefs had previously dealt with a similar shoulder injury to Hill during the 2019 season opener against the Jaguars. Hill missed four games due to the injury but returned to become an integral part of the team's successful Super Bowl-winning campaign.
While there are signs of optimism that Brown's recovery timetable may not be extensive, it is still too early to determine when he will be ready to return. As it is still August, there is hope that he will be available for the regular season, but further assessments will be necessary to gauge his progress.
The loss of Brown is undoubtedly a blow for the Chiefs, as he is a valuable asset to their offense. Known for his speed and playmaking abilities, Brown's absence would be felt on the field if he were to miss substantial time.
As the team awaits updates on Brown's condition, they will have to make adjustments and rely on other receivers to step up in his absence. The Chiefs will be hoping for a swift recovery for the talented wide receiver as they prepare for the upcoming season.
In the meantime, fans and the Chiefs organization will be holding their breath for positive news regarding Brown's injury and his potential return to action.
