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…

I suspect after the surgery he had to keep that left arm/shoulder in a sling and couldn't move it. You do that for a period of weeks, that joint freezes up quite a bit. Nothing a premier athlete with top shelf training/rehab can't break loose, but it takes time.
That's where my concern regarding his recovery time has always been - how long will it take to get full range of motion back in a shouler that's probably been immobilized for at least a month and maybe longer?
The joint that was injured doesn’t move much , but stiffness/loss of strength in the arm might be an issue depending how long it was picked down but should come back fairly quick. The main issue might be the ability to withstand the contact. [Reply]

Agreed. Our best case scenario is that the suspension coincides with his recovery period at the beginning of next season. That way he’s not on the IR, comes off of it, and THEN serves his suspension. [Reply]

Rice might not be the same player for a while even after he returns.
The WR core will look completely different in 2025. Outside of Worthy and Rice, none of the current WRs are under contract next year. Do they bring back any of Hopkins/Brown/Hardman/Watson/Juju? I don't know. Veach will continue to invest at WR in the draft. We'll see what happens in free agency. [Reply]
I'd kind of expect Hopkins and Hollywood to be strong re sign candidates. Unless we win a SB then Hopkins will probably follow his trend of chasing the money. [Reply]
