The former first-round pick suffered a dislocated SC joint in the preseason and was expected to make his return early in the season. However, Jordan Schultz notes that the joint was &#8220;not healing correctly&#8221; and now requires surgery.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sources: The <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Chiefs<\/a> are placing WR Marquise &quot;Hollywood&quot; Brown on IR, and he will undergo surgery to repair his dislocated SC joint.

A first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the <a  href=\"https:\/\/soonersports.com\/sports\/football\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oklahoma product<\/a> made an immediate name for himself while recording 46 receptions for 584 yards and seven touchdowns. Following two additional seasons with Baltimore, the team sent him to the Cardinals for a first-round pick. Brown spent the next two seasons in the desert before signing a one-year deal with Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>With Marquise Brown now on the injured reserve, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/06\/04\/xavier-worthy-dynasty-outlook-2024-fantasy-football\/\" target=\"_self\">2024 first-round pick Xavier Worthy<\/a> should see an uptick in work. The Texas product had an impressive rookie debut, hauling in two receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown while adding another score on a 21-yard carry. Brown and Worthy both excel as vertical threats, so Kansas City&#8217;s offense should remain elite while Brown is sidelined.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, even with Marquise Brown injured, this offense will still run through Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Rashee Rice. Mahomes is the best quarterback of his generation, and while Kelce is showing signs of slowing down, he&#8217;s still one of the best tight ends in football. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/08\/29\/nfl-spokesman-addresses-chiefs-rashee-rice-suspension\/\" target=\"_self\">Rashee Rice won&#8217;t be suspended<\/a> any time soon and is more than capable of winning in the short and intermediate part of the field. Combine these weapons with a strong running game led by Isiah Pacheco and the best interior offensive line in football and you have a well-oiled machine that should terrify opposing offenses.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Joe Rondone &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will miss at least four games, as the team placed him on the injured reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":189632,"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":[16,36],"tags":[7811,4749],"class_list":["post-189627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chiefs","category-nfl-news","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-marquise-brown"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189627","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\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
