PATRICK Mahomes might lose yet another weapon this NFL season.
With Rashee Rice expected to miss a good chunk of the season with a possible extension, Mahomes is going to need all of the help he can get.

However, things are already going downhill for the Kansas City Chiefs.
During Tuesday’s practices, wide receiver Hollywood Brown went down with an injury.
ESPN reporter Nate Taylor indicated that Brown came up limping after a play in the end zone.
The injury was to his lower right leg.
Brown was able to limp off the field, but then took a ride on the cart for further evaluation.
He did not return to practice following the injury.
Losing Brown would be a major blow after he lost so much time in the 2024 season.
The wide receiver had a sternoclavicular joint injury that kept him out for 15 games.
In five games he caught just 14 passes for 141 yards.
He is looking to make a better impression this year, and will need to be healthy to do so.

Fortunately for him, it appears that he avoided a major injury.
According to Jordan Schultz, Brown could return to practice as early as Wednesday.
Brown entered the NFL in 2019 with the Baltimore Ravens.
He spent three seasons there before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals in 2022.

He was left shaken up after a play and was evaluated in the medical tent.
Worthy later returned to practice and was able to finish the day with his teammates.
