Brown, like many players, admitted his frustration and emotions for having to miss time. However, doctors advised him to get the corrective surgery to ensure he can remain in the league for the foreseeable future.

Brown was set to be an integral part of the pass-catching prowess for the Chiefs in 2024 after he was signed in the offseason. He most recently spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.

Brown has had an up-and-down career, only posting over 1,000 receiving yards in one season since he arrived in the NFL in 2019. Still, he could have rebounded his career in a big way catching passes from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The Chiefs will now rely on Rashee Rice, rookie Xavier Worthy, and potentially JuJu Smith-Schuster, who was recently brought back after spending the 2022 season with Kansas City.
