Chiefs receiver carter off at practice

The Chiefs appear to have survived a troubling injury scare.

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown Brown was carted off the field on Tuesday due to injury, but coach Andy Reid said after practice that the team was not overly concerned.

“I don’t think it’s too bad, but we’ll see,” Reid told reporters, noting it was an ankle injury.

It brought back reminders to a season ago when Brown suffered a shoulder injury in a preseason game that kept him out for most of the season.

Brown was only able to appear in two regular season games for the Chiefs — pulling in nine passes for 91 yards.

Brown played in all three postseason games for the Chiefs, but was not a huge factor. The 28-year-old had five catches for 50 yards as the Chiefs made a run to the Super Bowl.

Kansas City lost to the Eagles, 40-22, failing in their attempt to three-peat.

Brown was not the only receiver to have an injury issue on Tuesday with Xavier Worthy “banged his head” and Skyy Moore (hamstring) also leaving practice early.

The Chiefs would be forced to call on JuJu Smith-Schuster and 2025 fourth-round pick Jalen Royals to pick up the slack left behind. 

The team’s most-talented receiver, Rashee Rice, was sentenced to 30 days in jail for driving 119.5 MPH during a Dallas car crash — and could face suspension from the league when he is released.

In an optimistic sign before Reid’s comments, Brown sat in the passenger seat — and not in the back of the cart.

That mirrors what happened to Jets quarterback Justin Fields just a few days ago. During practice, he came up limping and hitched a ride on the passenger side of the cart.

His injury turned out to be a dislocated toe, and Fields was back to practicing just a few days later.

The Chiefs open up with the Chargers on Friday, Sept. 5
