The Kanas City Chiefs made their NFL Preseason debut in a 26-13 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 10. Former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown suffered a scary shoulder injury during the game that left him hospitalized. The Chiefs have provided a timeline for Brown's recovery a few days later.
Brown is expected to miss four to six weeks with the sternoclavicular injury he suffered, per NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. Opening night is nearly three weeks away. Hopefully, Brown will have a safe and efficient recovery process.
Head coach Andy Reid compared Marquise Brown's injury to Tyreek Hill's shoulder ailment from 2019. Thankfully, Hill was able to recover eventually, and Brown looks to do the same.
Brown is in his first year with the Chiefs after stints with the Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals, as ClutchPoints previously noted. He started his career with the Ravens in 2019 after the team selected him with the 25th overall pick in the draft. After two years of stout production, Brown experienced an offensive eruption.
The former Oklahoma Sooner amassed a career-high 1,008 yards along with six touchdowns during the 2021 season. The following season, Brown joined the Cardinals, where his production fell slightly; however, he played a career-low 12 games in 2022. He comes off a 2023 season where totaled 574 yards and four TDs.
The Chiefs still have plenty of time to work their kinks despite losing their NFL Preseason debut. Kansas City is returning multiple stout contributors, headlined by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Mahomes threw for 4,183 yards and 27 touchdowns during the 2023 preseason. He came up huge for the Chiefs in the with clutch performances. Kelce was equally as vital to the team. The 34-year-old tight end totaled 984 yards and five TDs during the year and was a go-to target for Mahomes in the postseason.
