Moving in right direction Brown (shoulder) is nearing a return to the field according to head coach Andy Reid, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Impact Brown has been working his way back from a sternoclavicular joint injury in his left shoulder that he suffered on Aug. 10. Head coach Andy Reid said Monday that the wide receiver is "getting close" and that "it looks like it's heading in the right direction." Once he's healthy, Brown will compete with the likes of Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce for targets, likely limiting his fantasy upside in the early going.

Impact Brown is expected to return to practice next week, which would be just a shade over four weeks since he suffered a sternoclavicular joint injury in his left shoulder in Kansas City's exhibition opener in Jacksonville. The typical recovery for such an injury is 4-to-6 weeks, and the sixth-year wide receiver appears to be trending toward the front end of that timetable. Brown likely will need to get through Week 2 prep unscathed for the Chiefs' medical personnel to sign off on him playing on Sept. 15, but there's a distinct chance he'll make his debut with the team on that date.

Officially out Thursday Brown (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for Thursday night's season opener against the Ravens, per the Chiefs' official site.

Impact It's an outcome that coach Andy Reid previously acknowledged would be the case, which sets the stage for Brown -- who was listed as a non-participant in practice leading up to the contest -- to target a potential return to action Sept. 15 against the Bengals. In his absence Thursday, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson figure to lead the Chiefs' Week 1 WR corps, with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman also in the mix.

Will not be active Thursday Coach Andy Reid said Tuesday that Brown (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Brown has yet to resume practicing since suffering a left sternoclavicular dislocation Aug. 10, and it never appeared that he had a real chance to be available Week 1. Reid now makes that decision official, though he has noted that Brown's recovery thus far has been encouraging, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. Brown's absence will leave opportunities up for grabs behind TE Travis Kelce and top wideout Rashee Rice. Rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy could be the biggest beneficiary of extra offensive looks, but all of Justin Watson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman will be candidates to see increased roles to help fill in for brown.

Remains sidelined Monday Brown (shoulder) won't practice Monday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact The Chiefs open their regular-season slate Thursday night against the Ravens, and coach Andy Reid has acknowledged that the wideout is not expected to be available for the contest. Though Brown appears on track to be officially ruled out by the team ahead of Week 1 action, Adam Teicher of ESPN relays that Reid has noted that Brown's progress in his injury recovery has been very encouraging. In his anticipated absence versus Baltimore, fellow WRs Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy should have an opportunity to make their mark in fantasy lineups out of the gate.

Missing another practice Brown (shoulder) isn't practicing Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Kansas City head coach Andy Reid indicated that Brown is the only Chiefs player who will miss Sunday's practice session. The wideout's absence further supports the expectation that he'll miss the team's regular-season opener against Baltimore on Thursday. With that said, Kansas City elected not to place Brown on injured reserve to open the campaign, so there appears to be optimism that he'll be back in action by Week 4.

Chiefs to be without WR Hollywood Brown in season opener vs. Ravens

Kansas City will be without WR Hollywood Brown against Baltimore in Thursday's AFC title game rematch to open the NFL season.

Impact Brown was given a 4-to-6 week recovery timetable after suffering a sternoclavicular injury Aug. 10, so Reid is simply offering confirmation that his earliest possible return date will come Week 2 versus the Bengals. It's possible that Brown will need longer than that to get full healthy, but the Chiefs' decision not to place him on short-term IR is a vote of confidence from the team that he will need to miss less than four games. For Week 1, Patrick Mahomes' top receiving targets will be TE Travis Kelce, second-year wideout Rashee Rice, rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy and offseason addition Justin Watson. The team also recently signed JuJu Smith-Schuster and pass-catching running back Samaje Perine as depth boosts.

Not practicing yet Brown (shoulder) was present at Monday's practice but didn't participate, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Watching from the sideline might be interpreted as a step in the right direction, but Brown remains uncertain for Week 1 after suffering a sternoclavicular injury Aug. 10 in Kansas City's preseason opener. Reports at the time suggested he'd likely be out 4-6 weeks, hinting at a return at some point in September if not in time for Week 1. With Brown unavailable, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson got most of the first-team snaps at wide receiver alongside Rashee Rice in the Chiefs' second preseason game. The team recently added JuJu Smith-Schuster for depth, but he'll have an uphill battle to earn playing time even if Brown misses a game or two at the beginning of the regular season.

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.

Impact Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint injury during Saturday's preseason game versus the Jaguars, which Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports was able to be reduced by doctors in Jacksonville. Coach Andy Reid said that back in the 2019 season, former Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill dealt with a similar injury, which required him to miss Weeks 2 through 5. Reid only said "we'll see" with regards to Brown's status for Week 1, per Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com, but it looks like the 27-year-old's recovery timetable could jeopardize his availability for the start of the regular season. As long as Brown remains sidelined, added first-team reps figure to be available for Justin Watson, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney (back) behind Rashee Rice, who remains at risk of a suspension, and rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy.
