Marquise Brown Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The Chiefs have downgraded WR Xavier Worthy to out for Sunday night's game against the Giants, and he is not traveling with the team, according to multiple reports. Kansas City initially listed Worthy as questionable after a limited practice participation all week. But the team has clearly deemed the wideout not yet ready to play.

WR Marquise Brown led the Chiefs in receptions for the second straight game Sunday but managed only 5 receptions for 30 yards in the loss to the Eagles. His five targets tied WR Tyquan Thornton and TE Noah Gray for second on the team, one behind TE Travis Kelce. Brown also matched Thornton in total snaps (45) and pass routes (30), each running one more route than third WR JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He was originally listed as doubtful after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Worthy was never going to play in this one, but it does seem like he has a shot to return for Week 3. His absence on Sunday leaves Marquise Brown as Kansas City's No. 1 WR -- and a top-25 play in the Week 2 WR rankings.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Eagles. He practiced on Thursday and Friday, and the fact that he’s not already ruled out bodes well for his chances of playing Week 3. But he’ll miss this weekend’s game, leaving Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton as Kansas City’s top 3 WRs. WR Jalen Royals (knee) is out.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy won't have surgery on his injured shoulder and won't be placed on IR, HC Andy Reid said Wednesday. That means the team expects Worthy to miss fewer than four games.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy suffered a dislocated shoulder in Friday night's loss to the Chargers and is still seeking a second opinion on how to proceed. It's not yet clear how much time Worthy will miss.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (ankle) was a full participant in practice all week and isn't listed on the final injury report for Friday night's opener vs. the Chargers. Brown missed about three weeks of training camp but has been back on the field since mid-August. He should be ready to play a significant Week 1 role for a Chiefs WR corps that will be without WRs Rashee Rice (suspension) and Jalen Royals (knee).

Chiefs HC Andy Reid believes it will be a challenge for rookie WR Jalen Royals to play Week 1, according to Jesse Newell of The Athletic.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is accepting a six-game suspension and will serve it at the start of this season.

Chiefs’ WR Marquise Brown returned to practice on Sunday and was participating again on Monday, according to Chiefs' senior team reporter Matt McMullen.

The NFL initially proposed a suspension of up to 10 games for Kansas City WR Rashee Rice, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that WR Marquise Brown is "making progress" in his rehab and has resumed running, per Arrowhead Pride's Pete Sweeney. Reid also revealed that Brown's injury is "more in the ankle/foot area" than a high-ankle sprain. We still don't have a timetable for Brown's return, but the fact that he's running now should have him on track to be ready for Week 1. We'll keep you updated on his status.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown sustained an ankle injury in Tuesday's practice, HC Andy Reid said. No word yet on the severity or a timeline for Brown's return.

Update: Brown "avoided anything serious and is expected to be back on the field as early as tomorrow," according to insider Jordan Schultz.
