The news early Friday morning that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown had been placed on injured reserve appears to be only the beginning of the veteran’s troubles.
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Brown, who is expected to undergo surgery for his injured SC joint on Monday, will miss the entire 2024 regular season. The new information from Schefter is grim but not officially announced by the team. However, he details that due to recovery time, there is a chance he could play for the Chiefs in the postseason.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters about his thoughts and wishes for Brown as he deals with this unfortunate injury after one preseason game. Chiefs V.P. of Sports Medicine and Performance Rick Burkholder also said that Brown’s injury didn’t heal correctly, requiring surgery after several specialists worked with him over the past few weeks.
Brown signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs during the offseason to help lead the way in their receivers’ room. He formed a bond and chemistry with Patrick Mahomes and the younger receivers and strongly performed in training camp. His brief stint on the field for preseason on August 10th in Jacksonville is still his only moment in a game in a Chiefs uniform.
