Wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown reportedly will make his Kansas City Chiefs debut on Saturday, barring any setbacks.
ESPN reported Thursday that the Chiefs (13-1) are planning to activate Brown ahead of their home game against the Houston Texans (9-5).
Kansas City opened Brown’s 21-day practice window last Friday. He has been on injured reserve since Sept. 13 with a sternoclavicular joint injury sustained in the preseason opener.
“He’s done a nice job,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Thursday. “Mentioned earlier — it wasn’t his legs, so he was able to run, keep himself in running shape. But the rest of it, where the surgery was and that, it looked good. He was doing fine, yeah.”
Brown, 27, signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Chiefs in March after three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens (2019-21) and two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals (2022-23).
Brown has 313 catches for 3,644 yards and 28 touchdowns in 72 career games (65 starts). He posted a 1,000-yard season with the Ravens in 2021.
The Chiefs opened up a roster spot for Brown earlier this week when they released veteran running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
