Kansas City #Chiefs WR Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown is dealing with a shoulder injury. Here are the latest updates. 

The Kansas City Chiefs placed veteran wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown on their injured reserve list after he was hurt in the team’s first preseason game in August.

Brown has missed every regular season game during the Chiefs’ 2024 campaign, but Andy Reid gave a positive update about him this week ahead of Kansas City’s Week 15 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Will Brown be available for Sunday’s game?

Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown injury update

Brown remains on the Chiefs’ injured reserve list and has not yet returned to practice. He will not be available for Kansas City in Week 15.

How long will Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown be out?

In his comments to the media this week, head coach Andy Reid said:

“He’s (Hollywood Brown) getting close. He’s chomping at the bit to get back out there but he’s got to visit with the doctors and make sure he gets clearance there, but I think, I’d probably say he’s getting close. I can’t give you a date – I don’t know a date on it, but he says he feels great.”

Expect to hear more about Brown in the coming weeks as the Chiefs make their push toward the playoffs.

Will Harrison Butker play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs kicker

Kansas City #Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is dealing with a knee injury. Here are the latest updates. 

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker returned to practice this week after spending time on the team’s injured reserve list.

In Butker’s absence, the Chiefs have relied on two kickers—Spencer Shrader and Matthew Wright—to lead their special teams unit.

Will Butker be available for Kansas City’s Week 15 matchup against the Cleveland Browns?

Harrison Butker injury update

Butker was a limited participant in the Chiefs’ practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. He does not yet have a game designation.

How long will Harrison Butker be out?

Though Butker could be activated at any time, it seems likely that Kansas City will continue to rely on Wright until he returns to full participation in practice.

Wright is currently the Chiefs’ starting kicker while Butker remains on Kansas City’s injured reserve list. When Butker returns to the field, Wright will likely be waived and may have a chance to return to the Chiefs’ practice squad or be picked up by another team.

Will Isiah Pacheco play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs RB

#Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is dealing with a leg injury. Here are the latest updates. 

Isiah Pacheco was on a hot streak as the Kansas City Chiefs’ leading rusher before his season came to an abrupt halt when he fractured a fibula in the defending Super Bowl champions’ Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Will Pacheco be ready to make his comeback on Black Friday when the Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13?

Isiah Pacheco injury update

While Pacheco has maintained his designation for return from Kansas City’s injured reserve list, he was a full participant in both of the Chiefs’ practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, and may finally be activated in Week 13.

When asked about Pacheco and defensive lineman Charles Omenihu, who has also been designated to return from injured reserve, head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Wednesday that:

“I mean, as long as they’re (Isiah Pacheco and Charles Omenihu) okay. We’ll check on it again today, I’ve been trying to take it day-by-day. If they’re good after today then we’ll play them, yep.”

How long will Isiah Pacheco be out?

It is unclear how much more time Pacheco might need to miss if he is unable to return to the field in Week 13.

Chiefs RB depth chart

In Pachecho’s absence, Kansas City has primarily relied on Kareem Hunt to lead its ground game. Samaje Perine, Carson Steele, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire will also be available to play against Las Vegas.

Will Kareem Hunt play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs RB

#Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is dealing with a toe injury. Here are the latest updates. 

Kareem Hunt is the Kansas City Chiefs leading rusher through 11 games but was on the defending Super Bowl champions’ injury report again this week heading into their Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday.

Kareem Hunt injury update

Hunt was listed on Kansas City’s Tuesday and Wednesday injury reports due to his toe. Despite this recent setback, Hunt was a full participant in both of the Chiefs’ practice sessions this week and is expected to play against the Raiders.

How long will Kareem Hunt be out?

Though the exact nature of his toe injury is unclear, Hunt isn’t expected to miss any time due to his condition.

Chiefs RB depth chart

Hunt has been filling in for Isiah Pacheco, who has been on Kansas City’s injured reserve list. While Pacheco is primed to make his return to the field in the coming weeks, Hunt is likely to remain a key part of the Chiefs’ offense. Samaje Perine, Carson Steele, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire will be available to back up Hunt on Friday.

Will Spencer Shrader play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs kicker

#Chiefs kicker Spencer Shrader is dealing with a hamstring injury. Here are the latest updates. 

The Kansas City Chiefs recently added kicker Spencer Shrader when they were forced to place Harrison Butker on injured reserve.

While Shrader has done an admirable job in his two games with the Chiefs, he is already dealing with an injury himself.

Will Kansas City need to start a new kicker when they face the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday?

Spencer Shrader injury update

Shrader has sustained an injury to his right hamstring and he was not available to practice on Tuesday or Wednesday.

While there may still be remaining hope for him to play against the Raiders, the Chiefs signed veteran kicker Matthew Wright to take his place on Friday if necessary.

How long will Spencer Shrader be out?

It is unclear whether Shrader will need to miss time in Week 13, but it seems likely that he will be sidelined on Friday given that he has missed two practices and Kansas City’s decision to sign Wright.

If Shrader is officially ruled out, Wright will take over as the Chiefs’ starting kicker.

Will JuJu Smith-Schuster play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs WR

#Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is dealing with a hip injury. Here are the latest updates. 

Earlier this season, JuJu Smith-Schuster missed time from his role as one of Patrick Mahomes’ favorite targets in the Kansas City Chiefs offense due to a hamstring injury.

He returned to the field against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11, but was back on Kansas City’s injury report when the Chiefs faced the Carolina Panthers last on Sunday.

Will Smith-Schuster be available for Kansas City’s Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders?

JuJu Smith-Schuster injury update

Smith-Schuster is listed with a hip injury on the Chiefs’ latest injury report. However, his condition did not affect his ability to practice on Tuesday and Wednesday.
