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

Agreed, they signed Hollywood before Worthy unexpectedly fell into their lap on draft night. I think the only major change is they'll be forced to put Worthy on the field more earlier in the season and file claims on their Juju and Hardman veteran insurance policies. If he's back by the playoffs it's a bonus, but even with him on IR the WR room is miles better than it was last year at this point. [Reply]

We have the $$$.
Yes. I'd love to believe Worthy is a 1,000 yard WR but we just dont know that yet for certain. Hollywood is a bigger loss IMO than some around here are willing to admit. [Reply]

Worthy is doing great but I agree, Hollywood was going to make us unstoppable.
If everyone is healthy we have enough but I really want to see max fire power for the 3Peat. [Reply]

It sucks. But he's injury prone. And we knew that going into signing him.
If he didn't play in pre-season, who's to say he doesn't get injured in the Ravens game?
With the way the Ravens were playing (taking cheap shots and hitting after play is over) might have happened anyway.
I will never fault Andy for playing our starters in the pre-season in LIMITED action. We always seem to be more 'ready' than the teams that don't play their starters at all in the exhibition slate. [Reply]

Is it though? If Worthy is what we expect him to be then maybe it is, although I still worry about how he will hold up at his size. We also don’t know what we’re getting with Juju.
I wouldn’t hate a trade if a good one presented itself, just to hedge our bets at the position. A trade for someone on a bottom feeder like Amari Cooper or Adam Thielen would be worth exploring IMO. Cooper would also give you a good option for next year considering Rice and Worthy are the only WRs still under contract after 2024. [Reply]
Our QB just averaged over 10 yards per attempt against the best defense in football.
It's still going to be absolutely impossible for any defense to hold up against Worthy, Rice and Kelce. That is stretching a defense too thin on any given play.
And Mahomes just happens to love Justin Watson, too.
And our RBs nearly had two TD catches last game :-)
MVP Patrick Mahomes only had one game over 10 yards per attempt in 2022, and 2024 Mahomes is easily going to eclipse that mark. [Reply]

If somebody gives him a stack of cash, good for him. If he doesn't get the offers he wants on the FA market and is able to come back for another year (or two) with us on a cheap short term extension? All the better.
He seems like a good dude so I'm rooting for him. Hope we're able to see him at some point THIS year.

The way I see it, it's probably the difference in us being the #1 offense this year by a lot vs. a little.
We will still be the best, the numbers just may not be so damn gawdy.
And yet they still may. Need to stay healthy at WR from here. Especially 4. [Reply]
Maybe one bright spot is we can get Hollywood for the playoff stretch and he would be open to taking a prove it contract next year. So we get 1.5 years out of him. Trying to just stay positive [Reply]
