Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown Cleared for Practice After Shoulder Surgery
The Kansas City wideout is poised to return after a preseason injury, providing a potential boost to the Chiefs' offense before the playoffs.
- Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown has been medically cleared to practice following surgery to repair a sternoclavicular joint injury sustained in the preseason.
- The Chiefs have opened a 21-day practice window for Brown, who could return to game action as early as Week 16 against the Houston Texans or Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Kansas City signed Brown to a one-year, $7 million deal in March to bolster its receiving corps, which has faced significant injuries this season, including the loss of Rashee Rice to a season-ending knee injury.
- Brown's return adds a field-stretching option for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, complementing receivers DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy, and JuJu Smith-Schuster in the Chiefs' playoff push.
- The Chiefs, currently 12-1 and leading the AFC standings, aim to secure the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage as they prepare for another Super Bowl run.
