Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will miss the season opener with a shoulder injury, coach Andy Reid confirmed Friday.

Brown has not practiced since dislocating the sternoclavicular joint in his left shoulder on the Chiefs' first offensive play in their Aug. 10 preseason opener.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champions kick off the NFL's regular season on Thursday against the visiting Baltimore Ravens.

Brown, 27, signed a one-year, $7 million deal with Kansas City as a free agent in March. He had 51 catches for 574 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games (all starts) last season for the Arizona Cardinals.

Brown was a first-round draft pick (25th overall) by Baltimore in 2019 and has 313 career catches for 3,644 yards and 28 touchdowns in 72 games (65 starts) with the Ravens (2019-21) and Cardinals (2022-23).
