Marquise “Hollywood” Brown will undergo surgery to repair a dislocated sternoclavicular joint in his shoulder and will be… placed on injured reserve by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Brown’s placement on IR means he’ll be out for at least four games.
The 27-year-old wide receiver did not play during the Chiefs’ Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens and has been out since suffering the injury during the team’s first preseason game in August. He was given a 4-6 week recovery timeline earlier this month, but after further evaluation it was determined that surgery might be the best next step as the shoulder was not healing properly.
Brown is not considered done for the remainder of the season and the Chiefs will monitor his progress.
As recently as Wednesday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he wouldn’t rule out Brown’s return in Week 2, but his availability for the game against the Cincinnati Bengals seemed unlikely.
