Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown Injury Update

During a padded practice session, Hollywood Brown exited the field on a cart due to an apparent right lower leg injury. According to ESPN, Brown came up limping after a play. Coach Andy Reid later specified it was an ankle injury and downplayed its severity, stating, "I don't think it's too bad, but we'll see."

This injury occurs as the Chiefs are looking to integrate Brown, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy into a potent receiving trio. Worthy himself "banged his head" during the same practice, and Skyy Moore suffered a hamstring injury, adding to the team's injury concerns.

Brown, who signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs this offseason, has a history of injuries, including a sternoclavicular injury in the 2024 preseason. If Brown were to miss significant time, players like Jalen Royals could see increased opportunities. Royals had a strong 2023 season at Utah State, recording 71 receptions for 1,080 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Hollywood Brown sustained an ankle injury during a training camp practice.

Reid stated that he doesn't believe the injury is too serious but will await further evaluation.

Jalen Royals is a potential candidate to receive more reps if Brown is sidelined.
