Out at least 4 weeks, likely more

| Sources: The #Chiefs are placing WR Marquise Brown on IR, and he will undergo surgery to repair his dislocated SC joint. After multiple imaging studies, it was determined that, although Hollywood felt better, his injury was not healing correctly. Without corrective surgery, he would risk a more serious long-term injury.
The surgery is scheduled for Monday with Dr. Peter Millett in Vail, CO, and the Chiefs will monitor his rehab progress throughout the season. (Jordan Schultz on X)
FFToday's Take: Not great. We were originally expecting Brown to return in Week 3 but now the Chiefs must rely on rookie Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson as the starters opposite Rashee Rice. It's unclear how quickly he can return but the earliest would be Week 7 against the 49ers as the Chiefs have a bye in Week 6. It's also an option that he won't see the field this season. Worthy is solidified as a weekly Flex option with this news.
