NFL News: Kansas City Chiefs rule out star wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown for the ENTIRE season in huge injury blow… See More
Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown has been ruled out for the entirety of the regular season by the Kansas City Chiefs, according to reports.
The wide receiver was one of the Super Bowl champion’s star acquisitions in the offseason, signing a one-year contract after two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.
He suffered a shoulder injury on his debut during the preseason that now requires surgery, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports he will be out until at least January.
The news will come as a huge blow to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co, as they look to secure the three-peat after back-to-back Super Bowls.
After the game against the Jaguars back in August, Andy Reid revealed it was a ‘sternoclavicular joint dislocation’, and this week the head coach said it would be ‘months rather than weeks’.
ESPN report there is still a chance he could return for the postseason should Kansas City get there, but is not expected back before mid-January.
The injury looks set to ensure rookie Xavier Worthy will see a lot of the ball throughout 2024.
The Chiefs’ wide receiver corps still managed to be productive in the Week 1 28-20 victory over Baltimore in Brown’s absence.
