Chiefs WR Marquise Brown avoids shoulder surgery

The shoulder injury that sent Kansas City wide receiver Marquise Brown to the hospital this weekend will not require surgery, Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed Monday. Brown, 27, was discharged from a Jacksonville-area hospital Sunday morning after dislocating the sternoclavicular joint in his left shoulder in Saturday’s 26-13 preseason loss to the Jaguars. Brown, who is now back in Kansas City, was hurt on the Chiefs’ first offensive play of the game. He made the catch for 11 yards. Brown 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 choice (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). –Field Level Media
