Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Brown is likely to miss the game and his status against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 is in jeopardy.
“I think he’s going to be out for a while,” Reid said. “We’ll see how he’s doing now. He’s going through this right now and we’ll know more later.”
The Chiefs signed Brown to a one-year, $7 million deal in March after two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He had 51 catches for 574 yards in the 2023 season.
