ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KCTV) – It only took one snap of preseason football for the Kansas City Chiefs depth at wide receiver to be tested.
On Saturday, free agent signee Hollywood Brown dislocated his sternoclavicular shoulder joint after catching an 11-yard pass on the Chiefs’ first play. Brown was jammed into the ground on a tackle and was hospitalized in Jacksonville as a result.
When Kansas City returned to St. Joseph, Missouri, for its final week of training camp practices at Missouri Western State University, head coach Andy Reid offered positive news on Brown. Reid said the former first-round pick out of Oklahoma did not require surgery to get his joint back into place.
“We’ll see how that goes,” the three-time Super Bowl-winning head coach said of the possibility Brown returns for Kansas City’s Sept. 5 opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
