Chiefs WR Marquise Brown Could Return Late December Following Shoulder Surgery
The wide receiver's Week 15 medical clearance could pave the way for a late-season comeback to bolster Kansas City's struggling offense.
- Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown is nearing a return after undergoing surgery for a sternoclavicular shoulder joint injury sustained in August during the preseason opener.
- Brown has a Week 15 appointment with his surgeon, which could grant him clearance to practice and potentially play in Weeks 16 or 17 of the regular season.
- Kansas City's offense, which ranks 15th in total yards and 10th in scoring this season, has struggled to maintain its usual dominance despite an 11-1 record.
- The Chiefs' midseason acquisition of DeAndre Hopkins and the recent return of running back Isiah Pacheco have helped offset injuries to key players like Brown and Rashee Rice.
- Brown, a former 1,000-yard receiver, was one of Kansas City's major offseason acquisitions and is expected to bring big-play potential to the team’s passing game upon his return.
