Marquise Brown Carted Off with Ankle Injury, Not "That Bad" per Andy Reid

Another offseason with the Chiefs, another injury just shortly before kickoff to the new year. Brown went down in practice and had to be carted off, causing immediate concern over what his ailment could be considering he suffered a similar foot injury last year that held him out until the fantasy chanpionship semi finals in Week 16. Fortunately, the reports regarding Brown’s injury have been largely positive, and the consensus appears to be that the former Cardinal and Raven avoided anything major at this point with his ankle. While there’s a chance that Brown could be back on the practice field as early as today, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Chiefs take it easy with the veteran receiver and either limit his snaps or hold him out of practice given that there’s still a full preseason slate of games between now and the real deal in September. With Rashee Rice still facing a likely suspension at some point in 2025, the Chiefs can’t stand to lose another starting pass catcher in Brown - though any potential time missed by Brown, Rice, or Worthy this year would open the door for training camp standout Jalen Royals, who is already seeing snaps and rotating in with the first team receivers this summer.
