Chiefs Patrick Mahomes on ‘Hollywood’ Brown’s injury: ‘We're getting him back sooner rather than later’

As training camp ends, the Kansas City Chiefs are almost ready to start their title defense officially. However, the quest for a three-peat will be off to a slightly concerning start as the team continues to deal with injuries to vital players.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes addressed the media on Thursday for the final time this year at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. He commented on playing without veteran receiver ‘Hollywood’ Brown for the next few weeks due to his injury.

“I guess we’re lucky that it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, we lose a little bit of that veteran-type receiver in that room,” said Mahomes. “We have other guys that can replace him a little bit, but to have that much talent and a good understanding of what I want, he’s in the room. I think that’s what’s awesome. He’s talking to those guys and everything like that. So hopefully, we’re getting him back sooner rather than later.”

Mahomes will focus on the many receivers available this weekend and more until Brown returns to the field.
