Chiefs to activate Hollywood Brown from injured reserve for upcoming game against Texans.

Why it matters: Brown's return adds a dynamic weapon to the Chiefs' offense and provides quarterback Patrick Mahomes with another explosive target.

  • [Person] on [Topic]: "The Kansas City Chiefs will activate wide receiver Hollywood Brown from injured reserve and play him in Saturday's game against the Houston Texans unless he has any setbacks, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler."

What's new: After suffering a sternoclavicular injury during the preseason, Brown underwent surgery and has been rehabilitating. He returned to practice last week, signaling his readiness to contribute on the field.

Yes, but: While Brown's return is exciting for the Chiefs, there is always a risk of re-injury or setbacks when returning from an extended absence.

What to watch: Keep an eye on how the Chiefs incorporate Brown into their offensive schemes and how quickly he develops chemistry with Mahomes.

By the numbers: In the 2021 season, Brown caught 51 passes for the Arizona Cardinals. However, his most productive season came in 2020 with the Baltimore Ravens, where he caught 91 passes for 1,008 yards.

The bottom line: With Brown's activation, the Chiefs are poised to bolster their receiving corps and provide Mahomes with yet another talented weapon in their pursuit of success.
