Chiefs’ Hollywood Brown has injury Tyreek Hill once had. Here’s how long he could miss

The Chiefs’ revitalized wide receiver room is already down a man.

After all of one preseason snap.

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown left Saturday night’s preseason opener in Jacksonville with a sternoclavicular dislocation, more broadly an injury to his clavicle, head coach Andy Reid said after the game.

It is the same injury Tyreek Hill suffered, ironically on the same field, in the regular season opener in 2019. Hill, for reference, missed four games after that injury, and his return actually beat the Chiefs’ initial projected timeline. Hill sandwiched 35 days between games.

The Chiefs’ season opener against the Ravens awaits in 26 days.

Brown was transported to a local Jacksonville hospital for further evaluation after the game, which the Jaguars won 26-13.

“I think he’ll miss some time,” Reid said. We’ll just see where it’s at. We’re kind of going through it right now. We’ll know more later on.”

Brown, who joined the Chiefs via free agency in March, caught the first pass of the preseason, an 11-yard completion. The injury occurred while he was being tackled to the ground. He immediately left the game.

An extensive injury history followed Brown to Kansas City, though much of that history has been more frequently to his feet, ailments that have followed him since his college career at Oklahoma.
