Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Hollywood Brown suffered a dislocated clavicle and the team's Saturday night pre-season game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Speaking about Brown's injury, head coach Andy Reeve said, "I think he'll miss some time. But we'll just see where he's at. He's kind of going through it right now and we'll know more later on."
