The Chiefs believe QB Gardner Minshew tore his left ACL in the loss to the Titans, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. Minshew is scheduled for an MRI to confirm, but he likely becomes the second straight Chiefs QB to suffer a season-ending knee injury. Kansas City will be down to QB Chris Oladokun the rest of the way. The 28-year-old, 2022 seventh-round pick had not thrown a regular-season pass before going 11-of-16 for 111 yards vs. the Titans today. Other than maybe WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' passing game will be hands-off against the Broncos in Week 17.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (ankle) was a full participant in practice all week and isn't listed on the final injury report for Friday night's opener vs. the Chargers. Brown missed about three weeks of training camp but has been back on the field since mid-August. He should be ready to play a significant Week 1 role for a Chiefs WR corps that will be without WRs Rashee Rice (suspension) and Jalen Royals (knee).

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that WR Marquise Brown is "making progress" in his rehab and has resumed running, per Arrowhead Pride's Pete Sweeney. Reid also revealed that Brown's injury is "more in the ankle/foot area" than a high-ankle sprain. We still don't have a timetable for Brown's return, but the fact that he's running now should have him on track to be ready for Week 1. We'll keep you updated on his status.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown sustained an ankle injury in Tuesday's practice, HC Andy Reid said. No word yet on the severity or a timeline for Brown's return.

Update: Brown "avoided anything serious and is expected to be back on the field as early as tomorrow," according to insider Jordan Schultz.

The Chiefs are planning to activate WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) and play him against the Texans on Saturday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. It'll be Brown's 2024 and Chiefs debut after suffering an August shoulder injury that eventually required surgery in September. We'd be surprised if Brown played significant snaps vs. Houston and would not use him in fantasy lineups. If he plays more and/or better than expected, he could be a low-level option for Week 17's game against the Steelers.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) will be designated to return from IR and practice on Friday, according to TheMMQB's Albert Breer. Brown has missed the entire season after suffering an SC joint injury in a preseason game on August 10 that eventually required surgery in mid-September. Breer adds that the Chiefs are currently planning for Brown to make his debut in Week 17 or 18. That basically makes Brown a non-factor in redraft leagues, but he's worth keeping in mind for postseason fantasy contests.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) has an appointment with his surgeon in a couple of weeks to gain final clearance, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. If all goes well, he could return by Week 16 or 17, per Rapoport. Brown has been sidelined since suffering an SC joint injury in a preseason game on August 10. He wound up getting surgery in mid-September. We'll continue to keep an eye on his status and Kansas City's plans for him. But Brown would be very tough to trust in fantasy lineups in his first game or two back. We'd expect the Chiefs to slowly ramp him up in hopes of having him contribute in the playoffs. Brown is a fine stash if you have a bench spot to play with, but don't consider him a priority add.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown is expected to miss the entire regular season with his shoulder injury that requires surgery, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Sources tell Schefter that there's a chance Brown could return for the postseason, but mid-January is the earliest he could get back on the field. (Week 17 takes place the last week of December.)

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown will miss at least another four games because of his shoulder injury. NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports that Brown is scheduled to have surgery Monday on the dislocated SC joint that's been sidelining him. Brown reportedly felt better this week, but testing revealed that the injury wasn't healing correctly. Without surgery, Brown would risk further long-term damage.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is "feeling better" and "getting close" to a return. Week 2 or 3 has looked like Brown's most likely return date since he suffered the shoulder injury. We're currently projecting him to miss this Sunday's game vs. the Bengals and return in Week 3, but we'll continue to keep a close eye on his status. Brown's absence would make WR Xavier Worthy easier to trust in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The rookie totaled 68 yards and two scores in the opener -- but saw only three targets and one carry.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) will not play in the Thursday night opener against the Ravens, HC Andy Reid said. Brown suffered an S/C joint injury to his shoulder on August 10 and was expected to miss 4-6 weeks. We're just three weeks into that timeline, so he was always expected to miss the opener.

Chiefs WR Marquise "Hollywood" Brown was injured in the Chiefs preseason game this past Saturday. The extent of the injury has been revealed, as his S/C Joint Sprain will keep him sidelined for four to six weeks. Opening Night is three weeks away.
