Chiefs WR Marquise Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation in his left shoulder in Saturday's preseason game, HC Andy Reid said afterward. "He'll miss some time," Reid said, adding that this is similar to the injury WR Tyreek Hill suffered in 2019. Hill missed four games with that injury.
We'll look for more details on Brown's timeline for return. The Chiefs play the season opener on September 5, which is a little less than four weeks from now. If Brown is on Hill's timeline, he'd miss Week 1.
At minimum, Brown will be missing valuable camp and preseason reps in a new offense.
We're knocking one game off Brown's projections for now, moving him a few spots down the WR rankings.
The Chiefs might be without Brown and WR Rashee Rice in Week 1, depending on Rice's potential suspension. That scenario would almost assuredly mean a big role for rookie WR Xavier Worthy. WRs Skyy Moore, Justin Watson, Mecole Hardman, and Kadarius Toney could also be forced into bigger roles.
The Chiefs, of course, will continue to lean on TE Travis Kelce, as well.
For now, Brown, Rice, and Worthy are still the only Chiefs WRs worth drafting.
