Chiefs WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, who suffered a dislocation of his sternoclavicular shoulder joint Saturday night, was discharged from a Jacksonville-area hospital this morning and now has been cleared to return to Kansas City.
#Chiefs WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is expected to miss four to six weeks with the sternoclavicular injury he suffered, per multiple sources. Opening night is three weeks from this Thursday night.
Sources: The #Chiefs are placing WR Marquise "Hollywood" Brown on IR, and he will undergo surgery to repair his dislocated SC joint. After multiple imaging studies, it was determined that, although Hollywood felt better, his injury was not healing correctly. Without corrective… pic.twitter.com/xtRRMvmseq
Andy Reid said Hollywood Brown is “ahead of schedule” and attacking his rehab, but he wouldn’t commit to a certainty of seeing him this season. Called him “a relentless worker.”
DeAndre Hopkins has 11 regular season games to get up to get fully comfortable within the #chiefs offense and with Patrick Mahomes. By the time the postseason arrives, I'm told there is a real chance Hollywood Brown could return. Which would make KC's it's most complete at the…

Oh yeah, over 65 plus years, it will.
That's not what we're talking about here, but again, carry on. [Reply]

There is no evidence to suggest smaller guys are more injury prone than larger guys. In the real world, there is actually evidence to the contrary.
Sure except everything you said is is completely off base as far as the NFL is concerned.

Other positions that also experience a high number of injuries include wide receivers and defensive backs due to the physical demands and high-speed collisions involved in their roles. However, running backs typically have the highest injury rates and often miss the most games due to the nature of their position.

Yes, clearly what we are discussing in regards to why smaller football players get hurt more playing football. [Reply]

I figure he'll miss the first 2 games for sure then be 'questionable' for the Falcons game and Andy will give him that standard extra week that he always seems to give injured players.
If I'm betting I think we see him against the Chargers. I'd sure love to get him back by the Cincy game but I don't see that as terribly likely. [Reply]

Do we not?
Then why'd we sign him?
If we don't 'need' him to beat what is probably 2 of the 4 best teams we'll play all season, I'd say that suggests we didn't 'need' him at all.
It's a pretty substantial loss, fellas. Not unlike when Hardman hurt his heel, Toney messed up his leg and/or Kelce got injured the fucking DAY before the season started. When you have an off-season of making plans around a cog you expect to be there and be heavily used, losing that guy is a big damn deal.
We built this offense around the traits he brought to the table and now they're just not gonna be there for arguably the 2 most important regular season games we have. It's not just about the production we'll lose, it's about how we've tried to re-make this offense in a way that incorporates what he does well.
And that's largely out the window for those games now.
We 'need' him as much as we need anyone note named Mahomes, Kelce, Jones or McDuffie in those 2 games. And we almost certainly won't have him.
Ravens lost a bunch of their best performing defenders and Mike McDonald. I think we’ll be fine.
Bengals rookie starting RT is out and Chase is still not practicing bc he wants a new contract. That team also has 2 other players (Higgins, Hendrickson) ask to be traded. Also lost a very good OC in Brian Callaghan and they never start well.
I don’t think these teams are as good as they were before. Texans are easily our biggest threat IMO [Reply]

That sucks.
I’m not going to argue against any of that, but we have over a month to prepare for those contests without Hollywood.
