The Chiefs will designate WR Marquise Brown to return from injured reserve this week, per Nate Taylor.
This will open up a three-week window for him to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster.
It will be a welcome return for Kansas City, as Brown has been out with an SC joint injury sustained in the preseason. Previous reports indicated the Chiefs were hoping to get Brown back for the playoffs and the most recent timeline had them targeting a Week 16 return.
Brown, 27, is a former first-round pick of the Ravens out of Oklahoma back in 2019. He was traded to the Cardinals during the 2022 draft.
Brown was entering the final year of his four-year, $11.8 million rookie contract when the Cardinals picked up his fifth-year option for the 2023 season worth $12,909,000 fully guaranteed.
The Chiefs signed Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million this past offseason.
In 2023, Brown appeared in 14 games and recorded 51 receptions for 574 yards (11.3 YPR) and four touchdowns.
We’ll have more on Brown as the news is available.
