Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will be sidelined four to six weeks with a shoulder injury, Bleacher Report reported Tuesday.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that Brown will not need surgery on the dislocated sternoclavicular joint in his left shoulder.
Brown, 27, was discharged from a Jacksonville-area hospital Sunday morning after being hurt on the Chiefs’ first offensive play in Saturday’s 26-13 preseason loss to the Jaguars. He made the catch for 11 yards.
He signed a one-year, $7 million deal with Kansas City as a free agent in March. He had 51 catches for 574 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games (all starts) last season for the Arizona Cardinals.
Brown was a first-round draft choice (25th overall) by Baltimore in 2019 and has 313 career catches for 3,644 yards and 28 touchdowns in 72 games (65 starts) with the Ravens (2019-21) and Cardinals (2022-23).
The Chiefs open the regular season on Thursday, Sept. 5 against the visiting Baltimore Ravens.
