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…

Sounds like middle of December for possible return to practice and/or playing.
I would like that timeline better had he had surgery A MONTH AGO. [Reply]

Who gives a crap what other teams are doing? Andy has done it this way for many years and he's been successful. Why change what works? Out of the hundreds of players he's coached over decades of coaching, how many times has playing them in preseason really hurt his team with long term injuries? I don't know the answer but I'd bet it is a rare thing. [Reply]
I'm not going to get my hopes up. And really, I'd rather him take this season off, heal up properly, and give the Chiefs another shot next season with a friendly contract.
I guess in the meantime we're going to have to deal with watching Rashee Rice torch teams on the underneath crossers and Justin Watson being wide the hell open in the middle of the field. [Reply]

I think we can have our cake and eat it too there.
He isn't gonna sign elsewhere no matter what and have to learn a new offense on another one year deal. I think he is a lock to return, now it's just a matter of can we can get him for playoffs nevertheless. [Reply]

It's a good point about learning a new system. Would be a double bonus if he signed here for a two year deal after getting back to 100%, but now we're getting into the Chiefs philosophy of drafting wideouts, possibly, if we do that. It's nice to have options, though.
Even if he's cleared to play in December, will he be in the all-important "football shape" in time for the playoffs? Maybe my opinion on this will change in the next few months, but as of right now, I'm inclined to let him fully rest and heal and be ready to go in '25. [Reply]
