Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown needs shoulder surgery and is going on injured reserve, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.
Brown, 27, missed the season-opening win against the Baltimore Ravens and will be required to sit out at least the next four games. His earliest return date would be after Kansas City’s bye in Week 6.
Brown has not practiced since dislocating the sternoclavicular joint in his left shoulder on the Chiefs’ first offensive play in their Aug. 10 preseason opener.
Brown, 27, signed a one-year, $7 million deal with Kansas City as a free agent in March. He had 51 catches for 574 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games (all starts) last season for the Arizona Cardinals.
He was a first-round draft pick (25th overall) by Baltimore in 2019 and has 313 career catches for 3,644 yards and 28 touchdowns in 72 games (65 starts) with the Ravens (2019-21) and Cardinals (2022-23).
