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…
Seriously, Andy really needs to take advice/pointers from random anonymous keyboard football experts more often. He obviously doesn’t know what he’s doing. [Reply]

Like in a pile of leaves or a dry creek bed?
The starting O played one (1) series. Brown getting hurt sucks but that's been a worry about him at his size. I guess it happening in the first game of the season would have been better. [Reply]

Regular season isn’t as meaningful for this franchise as long as Mahomes is here too but unfortunately we’ve got to win enough games to get into the playoffs every year which makes them carry meaning (as opposed to, you know, preseason football). [Reply]

Andy plays guys in the preseason. Playing football is how you improve at playing football. A Mahomes injury would probably result in Andy continuing to play his starters in the preseason, as well as running a notoriously difficult training camp. [Reply]
26 days is plenty of time for a professional athlete to recover from this type of injury. By the time we play the bungholes, at home, it's 36 days of recovery. [Reply]

Andy apparently does.
He knows more about football than me
Bill Self knows much more about basketball than I ever will. That doesn’t mean he’s incapable of making a mistake or a flawed process (like, say, playing Kevin McCullar in meaningless February regular season games with a hurt shoulder and losing him for the NCAA tournament).

Congratulations, you have just won tonight's episode of Captain Obvious!
So using that "logic" should all of training camp just be walk-throughs, or do players never get injured playing football in training camp?
Teams working in a new LT and 2 new WRs get better at playing football together at actual NFL game speed by playing football together at actual NFL game speed.
Have you not noticed how injury-free we've been compared to teams who sit their starters in pre-season? We've been one of the least-injured teams in football. Do you think that's just luck, or just a coincidence? [Reply]

Nobody is infallible.
Him having the full plethora of information and making said decision, based on the understanding that he does know what he’s doing would lead one to believe there was more to it than meets the eye
