The former first-round pick of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens, Brown signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Chiefs during 2024 free agency. He and Patrick Mahomes immediately began <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/06\/12\/chiefs-brown-message-mahomes-rice-worthy\/\" target=\"_self\">working on their chemistry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But Brown was injured on the very first play of the Chiefs\u2019 preseason opener versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brown, maintaining his high spirits, sent a short message after.<\/p>\n<h2>Hollywood Brown Sends 4-Word Message After Injury in Chiefs Loss<\/h2>\n<h3>Chiefs&#8217; Hollywood Brown Expected to Miss Time<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cGod makes <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Primetime_jet\/status\/1822478944089592202\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">no mistakes<\/a>,\u201d Brown posted on X on August 11.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mahomes back <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4thOZ1ynyh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/4thOZ1ynyh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Billy M (@BillyM_91) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillyM_91\/status\/1822409921553449305?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 10, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Brown caught 51 passes for 574 yards and four touchdowns with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023, his second season in the desert. He figures to be a key part of a revamped, speedier Chiefs receiver group when healthy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHollywood Brown has that same thing that Tyreek [Hill] had down here actually; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hu5TZMYZfMQ\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sternoclavicular post dislocation<\/a>. They&#8217;ve taken him to the hospital. They&#8217;ll check him out and they&#8217;re working on that as we speak,\u201d Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters on August 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he&#8217;ll miss some time. We&#8217;ll just see where it&#8217;s at. They&#8217;re kind of going through it right now and we&#8217;ll know more later on here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hill, now with the Miami Dolphins, missed four games with his injury in 2019.<\/p>\n<h3>Injury Expert Explains Chiefs WR\u2019s Injury, Credits Medical Staff<\/h3>\n<p>The Chiefs lost to the Jaguars 26-13. Mahomes \u2013 who shared Brown\u2019s post \u2013 was 3-for-4 for 27 yards and Chiefs QBs went 22-for-27 for 158 yards in the contest. Undrafted rookie free agent Carson Steele logged the Chiefs\u2019 lone touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Brown finished the game with one reception for 11 yards, but all attention is on his health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSC (sternoclavicular) joint (where sternum or chest meets clavicle or collarbone) dislocation <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Stephania_ESPN\/status\/1822473875034079726\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">can be very dangerous<\/a> (esp if displaces posteriorly, towards critical blood vessels). As a result, has to be reduced (re-positioned properly) in hospital with proper visualization. Then time required for ligaments to heal, render joint stable again, typically multiple weeks,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Stephania Bell posted on X on August 10 in reaction to Brown&#8217;s injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of those injuries where proper medical assessment immediately is essential. Credit to Chiefs medical staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown would miss the rest of the preseason if he followed Hill\u2019s timeline. However, whereas Hill missed four games in 2018, Brown would only miss one regular season contest. All things considered, that is hardly the worst outcome.<\/p>\n<h3>Chiefs OL Suffers Knee Injury in Loss to Jaguars<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately for the Chiefs, Brown was not the only player to get banged up in the loss to the Bills. Undrafted rookie free agent offensive lineman McKade Mettauer also emerged worse for wear. McKade \u2026 he hurt his left knee, so they&#8217;ll evaluate that in the next day or so here,\u201d Reid said. \u201cOther than that I think everybody else uh made it out okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He did note that left tackle Wanya Morris\u2019 absence was as planned.<\/p>\n<p>Reid was also generally pleased with what he saw despite the final score. The Chiefs will regroup and look to put more good than bad on tape next week versus the Detroit Lions before wrapping the exhibition slate versus the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Corey Perrine\/USA TODAY NETWORK<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hollywood Brown is already looking forward to his return to the field with the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2879,"featured_media":184854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[188,7811,32742,1576,297,9842],"class_list":["post-184853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chiefs","tag-andy-reid","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-mckade-mettauer","tag-patrick-mahomes","tag-tyreek-hill","tag-wanya-morris"],"modified_by":"Josh Buckhalter","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2879"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
