The Kansas City Chiefs kick off the NFL season next week with Thursday Night Football in opposition to the Baltimore Ravens. But when the defending champions take the sector, they are going to be seemingly down one among their high receivers.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid instructed reporters in a information convention on Friday that receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is unlikely to play in the Chiefs’ season opener. Brown suffered a shoulder damage throughout Kansas City’s first preseason matchup originally of the month, and was given a 4-6 week timetable for restoration.
“Hollywood won’t be back this week, and we’ll just see how it goes,” Reid mentioned.
Brown signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs in March, with the deal price up to $11 million. He will miss the prospect to play in opposition to his former group, Baltimore, who drafted him twenty fifth general in 2019.
Brown spent the previous two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He caught 51 receptions for 574 yards and 4 touchdowns, with the primary two being profession lows.
Despite his sluggish 2023, Reid had nothing however reward for the 27-year-old receiver.
“The kid’s amazing,” Reid mentioned. “His progress has been incredible, but I wouldn’t predict him being there this week.”
