Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Marquise Brown, one of the Kansas City Chiefs' biggest offseason additions, will not play in Thursday night's season opener against the Baltimore Ravens, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.
"Hollywood won't be back this week and we'll just see how it goes [from there]," Reid said. "But the kid's amazing. I mean, his progress has been incredible, but I wouldn't predict him being there this week."
Brown dislocated a shoulder on the Chiefs' first offensive play of the preseason.
The Chiefs planned to not have Brown for the game earlier in the week when they kept seven wide receivers on their active roster. The list includes Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs' 2024 first-round draft pick, Rashee Rice, their leading wide receiver last season, and JuJu Smith-Schuster, who signed with the Chiefs this week.
"He looks great right now and he jumped right back in and had some good practices for us," Reid said. "So it's just a matter of him getting banged around a little bit. ... He'll get all that as the season goes, but it's good to have him back in the mix there, for sure."
