Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was hospitalized Saturday after being injured during an NFL preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Brown is likely to miss time and his status for Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens is in jeopardy.

“I think he's going to miss some time,” Reid said. “We'll see where he's at. He's going through a tough time right now and we'll know more later.”

The Chiefs signed Brown to a one-year, $7 million contract in March after two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He has 51 receptions for 574 yards during the 2023 season.

Brown was expected to be a key part of the offense as the team went through ups and downs as it began its quest for a third consecutive Super Bowl championship.

The team also selected wide receiver Xavier Worthy in the draft. The team lost Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the Buffalo Bills in the offseason.
