Not ready to practice
Brown (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Though Brown won't be a practice participant Wednesday, coach Andy Reid indicated that it's still possible the wideout could be available Sunday against the Bengals. Brown has two more chances to log practice reps before the Chiefs' final Week 2 injury report is posted. In his absence in the team's season opener, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson led Kansas City's WR corps, with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Skyy Moore mixing in.

Moving in right direction
Brown (shoulder) is nearing a return to the field according to head coach Andy Reid, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Brown has been working his way back from a sternoclavicular joint injury in his left shoulder that he suffered on Aug. 10. Head coach Andy Reid said Monday that the wide receiver is "getting close" and that "it looks like it's heading in the right direction." Once healthy, Brown will compete with the likes of Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce for targets, likely limiting his fantasy upside in the early going.
May debut in Week 2
Brown (shoulder), who is inactive for Thursday's game against the Ravens, may be able to play in the Chiefs' Week 2 matchup with the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 15, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Brown is expected to return to practice next week, which would be just a shade over four weeks since he suffered a sternoclavicular joint injury in his left shoulder in Kansas City's exhibition opener in Jacksonville. The typical recovery for such an injury is 4-to-6 weeks, and the sixth-year wide receiver appears to be trending toward the front end of that timetable. Brown likely will need to get through Week 2 prep unscathed for the Chiefs' medical personnel to sign off on him playing on Sept. 15, but there's a distinct chance he'll make his debut with the team on that date.
Officially out Thursday
Brown (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for Thursday night's season opener against the Ravens, per the Chiefs' official site.
It's an outcome that coach Andy Reid previously acknowledged would be the case, which sets the stage for Brown -- who was listed as a non-participant in practice leading up to the contest -- to target a potential return to action Sept. 15 against the Bengals. In his absence Thursday, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson figure to lead the Chiefs' Week 1 WR corps, with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman also in the mix.
Will not be active Thursday
Coach Andy Reid said Tuesday that Brown (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Brown has yet to resume practicing since suffering a left sternoclavicular dislocation Aug. 10, and it never appeared that he had a real chance to be available Week 1. Reid now makes that decision official, though he has noted that Brown's recovery thus far has been encouraging, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. Brown's absence will leave opportunities up for grabs behind TE Travis Kelce and top wideout Rashee Rice. Rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy could be the biggest beneficiary of extra offensive looks, but all of Justin Watson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman will be candidates to see increased roles to help fill in for brown.
Remains sidelined Monday
Brown (shoulder) won't practice Monday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
The Chiefs open their regular-season slate Thursday night against the Ravens, and coach Andy Reid has acknowledged that the wideout is not expected to be available for the contest. Though Brown appears on track to be officially ruled out by the team ahead of Week 1 action, Adam Teicher of ESPN relays that Reid has noted that Brown's progress in his injury recovery has been very encouraging. In his anticipated absence versus Baltimore, fellow WRs Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy should have an opportunity to make their mark in fantasy lineups out of the gate.
Missing another practice
Brown (shoulder) isn't practicing Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Kansas City head coach Andy Reid indicated that Brown is the only Chiefs player who will miss Sunday's practice session. The wideout's absence further supports the expectation that he'll miss the team's regular-season opener against Baltimore on Thursday. With that said, Kansas City elected not to place Brown on injured reserve to open the campaign, so there appears to be optimism that he'll be back in action by Week 4.
Won't play in season opener
Coach Andy Reid said Friday that Brown (shoulder) will not suit up for Kansas City's regular-season opener against the Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 5, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Brown was given a 4-to-6 week recovery timetable after suffering a sternoclavicular injury Aug. 10, so Reid is simply offering confirmation that his earliest possible return date will come Week 2 versus the Bengals. It's possible that Brown will need longer than that to get full healthy, but the Chiefs' decision not to place him on short-term IR is a vote of confidence from the team that he will need to miss less than four games. For Week 1, Patrick Mahomes' top receiving targets will be TE Travis Kelce, second-year wideout Rashee Rice, rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy and offseason addition Justin Watson. The team also recently signed JuJu Smith-Schuster and pass-catching running back Samaje Perine as depth boosts.
Not practicing yet
Brown (shoulder) was present at Monday's practice but didn't participate, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Watching from the sideline might be interpreted as a step in the right direction, but Brown remains uncertain for Week 1 after suffering a sternoclavicular injury Aug. 10 in Kansas City's preseason opener. Reports at the time suggested he'd likely be out 4-6 weeks, hinting at a return at some point in September if not in time for Week 1. With Brown unavailable, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson got most of the first-team snaps at wide receiver alongside Rashee Rice in the Chiefs' second preseason game. The team recently added JuJu Smith-Schuster for depth, but he'll have an uphill battle to earn playing time even if Brown misses a game or two at the beginning of the regular season.
