Brown had four receptions on seven targets for 46 yards in Wednesday's 29-10 win over Pittsburgh. Brown finished third in both targets and receptions for Kansas City, but he failed to bring in any of Patrick Mahomes' trio of touchdown passes in the win. The 27-year-old Brown has produced nine receptions for 91 yards in two games with the Chiefs this season. Brown figures to suit up against the Broncos next Sunday even with his team clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC after missing the first 14 games of the campaign due to a shoulder injury.

Brown had four receptions on seven targets for 46 yards in Wednesday's 29-10 win over Pittsburgh. Brown finished third in both targets and receptions for Kansas City, but he failed to bring in any of Patrick Mahomes' trio of touchdown passes in the win. The 27-year-old Brown has produced nine receptions for 91 yards in two games with the Chiefs this season. Brown figures to suit up against the Broncos next Sunday even with his team clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC after missing the first 14 games of the campaign due to a shoulder injury.
Brown caught five of eight targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans. Brown made his long-awaited regular-season Chiefs debut, which was put on hold by a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason. His first contribution was a notable one, as Brown's 12-yard catch on fourth-and-1 extended Kansas City's opening drive, which eventually ended in a Patrick Mahomes rushing touchdown. The speedy wideout wound up leading the team in first-half receiving yards with 38 but tacked on just seven yards after halftime. Brown will look to keep building chemistry with Mahomes against the Steelers on Wednesday.
Brown (shoulder) has been activated from IR ahead of Saturday's game against the Texans. Brown, who practiced fully Tuesday through Thursday, doesn't carry an injury designation for the contest, which sets the stage for the speedy pass catcher to see his first game action since suffering a sternoclavicular injury on the first play of the Chiefs' first preseason game back on Aug. 10, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. In his looming return to a wide receiver corps that also includes Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins, it remains to be seen what sort of volume Brown will see Week 16, but on the plus side given the nature of the upper-body injury that caused his lengthy layoff, Brown was "able to run and keep himself in running shape," head coach Andy Reid noted Thursday.
Brown (shoulder), who officially remains on IR, practiced in full Thursday and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Texans. Coach Andy Reid said Thursday that Brown has "a good chance" to be officially activated from IR in time to make his season debut Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The speedy wideout's lack of an injury designation reflects that optimism. Brown's recovery from left shoulder surgery undergone back in September has prevented him from suiting up for a single game this season, so if available Saturday, it wouldn't be surprising to see Kansas City ease him into the offense with a light snap count, with the intention to ramp up his involvement for the playoffs.
Brown (shoulder) is expected to be activated off injured reserve ahead of Saturday's game against the Texans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. The Chiefs will need to officially activate Brown off IR ahead of the contest, but it appears like the speedy wideout is on a direct path to making his season debut in Week 16. It's unclear to what degree Brown will be utilized in his first game action since Week 15 of the 2023 campaign, but the team will gladly welcome the 27-year-old's field-stretching speed to an offense that has struggled to produce explosive plays this season.
The Chiefs listed Brown (shoulder) as a full participant in Tuesday's practice. Brown has missed the Chiefs' first 14 games of the season while recovering from mid-September surgery on his left shoulder, but he looks to be closing in on his Chiefs debut. He took a step forward Tuesday by taking every rep in practice, after he had been listed as a limited participant in his return to practice last Friday. Earlier Tuesday, head coach Andy Reid confirmed to Adam Teicher of ESPN.com that Brown will have a chance to play this Saturday against the Texans, but the Chiefs will likely wait until the end of the week before deciding whether to activate the wideout from IR. If available this weekend, Brown could be eased into the mix with a light snap count, but he'll offer the Chiefs a downfield threat that the team has been sorely lacking this season.
The Chiefs are opening Brown's (shoulder) practice window Friday, Albert Breer of SI.com reports. A previous report suggested it would happen either Friday or Monday, after Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed earlier this week that Brown was almost ready to practice. Brown won't play against Cleveland this Sunday and might be viewed as a long shot for Week 16, but it seems he'll return before the end of the regular season unless he suffers a setback in practice. There's now a 21-day window in which Brown can practice without being activated to the 53-man roster.
Brown (shoulder) has received final clearance to practice and should be designated for return from injured reserve Friday or Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Brown hasn't played this season due to September surgery that was ordered up to repair the left shoulder injury he suffered during the Chiefs' preseason opener on Aug. 10. On Wednesday, coach Andy Reid told Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com that Brown was closing in on a return to practice, so Rapoport's report one day later isn't coming out of thin air. Whenever he's able to practice again, Kansas City will have a 21-day window to evaluate Brown for a potential return to the active roster.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Brown (shoulder) is "getting close" to practicing and is "chomping at the bit" to return, Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride reports. Reid declined to provide an estimated date for Brown's return and didn't say how much the wideout would need to practice before playing in a game. Brown presumably will miss Week 15 and probably should be viewed as a long shot for Week 16, but it won't be surprising if he makes it back for the final game or two of the regular season. If nothing else, the Chiefs seemingly expect him to be a major contributor during the playoffs.
