Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was hospitalized Saturday after an injury in an NFL preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Brown, whom the Chiefs acquired in the offseason, suffered a dislocated sternoclavicular joint in the team's 26-13 loss. He landed awkwardly on his left shoulder after an 11-yard reception on the game's first play.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Brown is likely to miss some time and his status for Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens is in jeopardy.
“I think he's going to miss some time,” Reid said. “We'll see how he's doing. He's going through a tough time and we'll know more about that later.”
The Chiefs signed Brown to a one-year, $7 million contract in March after two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He had 51 receptions for 574 yards during the 2023 season.

Brown was expected to be a key piece of the offense as the team went through ups and downs as it began its quest for a third consecutive Super Bowl championship.
The team also selected wide receiver Xavier Worthy in the draft. The team lost Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the Buffalo Bills in the offseason.
