Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown injures shoulder in preseason opener

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown departed Saturday's 26-13 preseason loss to the host Jacksonville Jaguars with a possible dislocated shoulder.

Brown was injured on Kansas City's first offensive play of the game. He made the catch for 11 yards.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said after the game that Brown was being examined for a dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint.

"They took him to the hospital and they will check him out," Reid said.

Brown signed with Kansas City in the offseason as a free agent. He received a one-year, $7 million deal.

Brown, 27, had 51 receptions for 574 yards and four touchdowns last season in 14 games for the Arizona Cardinals .

Brown was a first-round draft choice (25th overall) by the Baltimore Ravens in 2019. He had career bests of 91 receptions and 1,008 yards in 2021 during his third and final season with the Ravens.

He was traded after the season and spent the last two seasons with the Cardinals. He has 313 career catches for 3,644 yards and 28 touchdowns in 72 games (65 starts).
