Chiefs activate WR Marquis Brown, clearing way for regular-season debut vs. Texans
Associated Press— The Kansas City Chiefs activated wide receiver Marquis Brown from injured reserve on Friday, clearing the way for their biggest free-agent acquisition of the offseason to make his regular-season debut on Saturday against the Texans. But the rest of it, the surgery part, it looked good.” Brown will have Patrick Mahomes throwing passes to him after the Chiefs quarterback made it through the week without any trouble caused by the high-ankle sprain he sustained last week against Cleveland. The Chiefs lost their top wide receiver, Rashee Rice, to a season-ending knee injury in Week 4, and that led them to work out a trade with Tennessee for three-time All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins. And when running back Isiah Pacheco went on the injured list, the Chiefs brought back Kareem Hunt, who filled in admirably and is now part of a strong backfield tandem.
