Chiefs Eyeing Playoff Return For WR Marquise Brown

According to James Palmer, the Chiefs believe there’s a real chance WR Marquise Brown would be able to return for the playoffs. 

The veteran receiver is currently on injured reserve as a result of a broken sternoclavicular joint initially suffered in the preseason. 

It was initially viewed as a four to six week injury that would heal on its own, but after the joint failed to correct itself naturally, surgical intervention was needed which led to a longer absence for Brown. 

However, if he’s back for the playoffs that would be the most important part of Kansas City’s season as the Chiefs seek a third straight Super Bowl. 

Brown, 26, 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.
