Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown is not expected to play in the regular season after the team placed him on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
Schefter says that there still was a chance Brown could return for the postseason, but he was not expected back any sooner than mid-January.
Brown’s shoulder injury will require surgery and Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Friday that Brown was expected to miss “months” — not “weeks.”

Brown, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Ravens out of Oklahoma back in 2019. He was traded to the Cardinals during the 2022 draft.
Brown was entering the final year of his four-year, $11.8 million rookie contract when the Cardinals picked up his fifth-year option for the 2023 season worth $12,909,000 fully guaranteed.
The Chiefs signed Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million.
In 2023, Brown appeared in 14 games and recorded 51 receptions for 574 yards (11.3 YPR) and four touchdowns.
