Kansas City Chiefs Football: Andy Reid Discusses Hollywood Brown's Return

Kansas City Chiefs Football News: Hollywood Brown's Injury Status

Wide receiver Hollywood Brown was the Kansas City Chiefs’ splashiest offseason acquisition for the upcoming season. However, after being injured on the opening offensive play of the preseason Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, questions arose about his potential contributions to the Kansas City offense. His sternoclavicular joint dislocation mirrors the injury former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill faced in 2019, fueling speculation that Brown might miss around four weeks. With the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens approaching, fans are eager to know if Brown will be ready for the Sunday afternoon game against the Cincinnati Bengals, five weeks and three days post-injury.

Injury Update from Andy Reid

Head coach Andy Reid provided some insight during Monday's press availability, emphasizing, “Listen: everybody’s different,” when discussing Brown's recovery. He noted, “He’s getting close. I know he’s feeling better.” Periodic tests and scans suggest that Brown is headed in the right direction, but the real test will be Wednesday's practice where he needs to be a limited participant to have a chance at playing on Sunday. As always, we’ll keep a close watch on the injury report.
