Brown

Brown will be sidelined until at least January after undergoing shoulder surgery. He picked up in the injury in the preseason and was placed on injured reserve this week when the team decided surgery was necessary. Brown, 27, could return for a postseason run barring a rehab setback. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy will be KC’s top two receivers for the remainder of the season, with Rice functioning as the team’s clear No. 1 wideout.

Brown, who suffered a serious shoulder injury in mid-August, will undergo surgery to repair the injury. Schultz said the Chiefs will “monitor” Brown’s progress throughout the season. It would appear he’ll miss much of the regular season with a potential late season or postseason return. That sets up Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy as the Chiefs’ top two wideouts. Patrick Daugherty, Kyle Dvorchyk, and Denny Carter talked about the Kansas City wideouts on the latest Rotoworld Football Show.

It seems very unlikely that Brown will be able to play against the Bengals in Week 2 at this point after initial optimism that he may be able to suit up for that contest. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy will continue to be the top wideouts for Patrick Mahomes against the Cincinnati secondary.

Brown missed Week 1 with a shoulder injury he sustained in the preseason and seems iffy for Week 2. If Brown remains sidelined against the Bengals, Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice will continue operating as KC’s top two wideouts.

“I know he’s feeling better,” Reid said. Brown hurt himself in the preseason opener, and wasn’t able to return to the field for the Week 1 victory over the Ravens. The Chiefs will likely be cautious with the 27-year-old, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he isn’t able to roll against the Bengals for Week 2.

It’s a quiet list for the Chiefs, who now turn their injury attention toward Brown getting healthy for Week 2 against the Bengals.

Brown was officially ruled out after missing all three practices leading up to Kansas City’s opener versus the Ravens. The news doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Andy Reid told reporters last week that Brown wasn’t expected to be ready for Week 1. The speedy receiver is now eying a Week 2 return versus the Bengals.

With Brown already ruled out for Thursday’s season-opener against the Ravens, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that he wouldn’t practice this week. It’s possible he will ramp things up at the start of next week before the Chiefs play the Bengals, but don’t be surprised if Brown sits out this full week of practice.

Brown, who has been ruled out for Thursday’s opener against the Ravens, is dealing with an SC joint sprain, a 4-6 week injury. He’s just now coming up on the four-week mark. Per Rapoport, Brown was only recently able to resume laughing without being in pain. It’s a serious issue. With new-found receiver depth, the Chiefs may not force the issue for Week 2, but Week 3 in Atlanta is probably the worst-case scenario. Brown’s absence gives runway to rookie wideout Xavier Worthy.

Edwards-Helaire missed multiple practices this summer, sidelined by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is unclear as to whether he missed today’s practice due to the PTSD issue but this is now a situation to monitor closely. The Chiefs kick off Week 1 play against the Ravens on Thursday, making Sunday the equivalent of a typical Wednesday practice. Veterans, like Edwards-Helaire, and players working through injury often rest during Wednesday’s practice so his Sunday absence could ultimately be a non-issue. As expected, WR Hollywood Brown (sternoclavicular joint injury) also did not practice.
