Chiefs’ Marquise Brown Suffers Shoulder Injury in Preseason Game
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown suffered a shoulder injury in the team’s preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday night. Brown was taken to the hospital after the game and was later discharged and cleared to return to Kansas City.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Brown sustained a sternoclavicular joint sprain in the game, which is the same injury that former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered against the Jaguars in 2019. Hill missed four games with the injury.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed after the game that Brown would miss some time, but did not provide a specific timeline for his return. If Brown were to miss four weeks recovering like Hill did, he would be able to return in time for the Chiefs’ Week 2 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Brown recorded a career-low 574 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 14 games with the Arizona Cardinals last season. He signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Chiefs this past offseason.
In other news, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played one drive in the game and went 3-of-4 for 27 yards, setting up a 45-yard field goal from Harrison Butker. The Jaguars, who went 9-8 last season and missed the playoffs for the fifth time in the last six years, will take on the Miami Dolphins to start the season Sept. 8.

- "If this is the play where Hollywood Brown got injured, looks like a potential Left AC sprain as he lands on that side. Hopefully it’s just that and minor." – Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT (@jmthrivept)
