Suffered sternoclavicular post dislocation

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Hollywood Brown was set to be a key player in the team’s offense this season, but a serious injury during a preseason game has now raised concerns about his health and availability for the upcoming term.

The injury was severe enough that Brown had to be immediately taken to the hospital, and his status for the regular season is now uncertain.

“As far as the injuries go, Hollywood Brown has that same thing that Tyreek had down here, actually,” Reid said.

“Sternoclavicular post dislocation. They’ve taken him to the hospital. They’ll check him out, and they’re working on that as we speak.

“I think he’ll miss some time. We’ll just see where it’s at. We’re kind of going through it right now. We’ll know more later on here.”

What’s a sternoclavicular joint dislocation?

A sternoclavicular joint dislocation is a significant injury, as it affects the area where the collarbone meets the sternum. Depending on the severity, it can cause breathing difficulties and is considered a medical emergency that requires prompt attention.

Treatment for this type of injury typically involves immobilizing the shoulder with a sling, which may need to be worn for several weeks to a month. However, the exact timeline for Brown’s recovery is still unknown, and the focus has now shifted to ensuring his immediate health and safety.

The Chiefs will need to monitor Brown’s condition closely as they prepare for the regular season. His recovery will be prioritized over his return to play, and it remains to be seen how this injury will impact his role with the team this year.
