Impact Brown's recovery timetable aligns with coach Andy Reid's earlier indication that his injury is the same that former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill missed Weeks 2-5 due to back in 2019. The timing makes it appear unlikely that Brown will be available for Kansas City's regular-season opener against the Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 5, though the team has yet to rule him out. If Brown's recovery timeline ends up being closer to six weeks, he could even be a candidate to begin the year on IR. Given that Rashee Rice's legal issues and potential suspension are still pending, that leaves Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney as the top guaranteed options in the wide receiver room.
