That’s what Marquise “Hollywood” Brown will be targeting in Week 16’s matchup against the Houston Texans.
The Kansas City Chiefs have activated Bronw off the injured reverse ahead of Saturday’s contest at Arrowhead Stadium. Barring any setbacks, the veteran receiver will make his 2024 debut against the AFC South Champions.
Brown, who signed a one-year deal in the offseason with Kansas City, hasn’t since suffering a sternoclavicular injury on the first play of the first preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had surgery and was in rehab before returning to practice for the first time last week.

The former first-round pick returned to practice earlier this week and has been a full participant in drills. On Thursday, the Chiefs took Brown off the injury report.
“He got out there, and he was rolling around,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes told reporters. “I think more than anything, it’s him getting back in football shape. I mean, it’s just different than training and stuff like that. And then him being able to feel confident enough to go out there and take hits, which he’s been cleared to do.”
In his final season with the Arizona Cardinals, Brown caught 51 passes for 574 yards and four touchdowns. His best season came for the Baltimore Ravens in 2021 when he caught 91 passes for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns.
Kickoff is scheduled for noon CT. The game will be nationally televised on NBC.
