BREAKING NEWS: Kansas City Chiefs Monstrously Lose Top Starting Wide Reciever Just Before Week 2 Game

Kansas City Chiefs have been hit with disappointment after loosing top wide reciever Brown to a severe injury just before their Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. They’ve placed newly-acquired wide receiver Marquise Brown on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed on Friday that Brown’s recovery will take months rather than weeks.

Kansas City brought Brown in from the Arizona Cardinals this past spring to add another weapon for Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes. Now, it seems that won’t be happening anytime soon.

With Brown out, the Chiefs’ wide receiver situation becomes uncertain. Their current roster includes rookie Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, Mecole Hardman, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. While they have depth, only Rice stands out as a top-tier receiver.

This situation might prompt Chiefs general manager Brett Veach to consider making a move to strengthen the wide receiver position.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver options following Marquise Brown injury news

Here are some potential buy-low options for the Chiefs to consider:

**Corey Davis:** Recently returned from retirement after sitting out last season, Davis, a former top-five pick of the Tennessee Titans, averaged 48 receptions and over 700 yards per season from 2018 to 2022. He could be a candidate for the practice squad.

**Hunter Renfrow:** It’s surprising that Renfrow, a former 1,000-yard receiver with the Las Vegas Raiders, remains a free agent. In 2020, he caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and had an 80.5% catch rate. Renfrow could be a strong addition to the slot for Kansas City.

**Marquise Goodwin:** Last seen with the Cleveland Browns in 2023, Goodwin had limited production with just four catches for 67 yards. However, his speed could be a valuable asset in the Chiefs’ offense, and like Davis, he might be signed to the practice squad.

**Adam Thielen:** At 34, Thielen is part of a struggling Carolina Panthers team. He may seek a trade before the November deadline. Last season, he recorded 103 receptions for 1,014 yards, and his experience could be a significant asset for Kansas City.
