The Kansas City Chiefs are opening the practice window for wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown on Friday, multiple outlets reported.

Brown, 27, reportedly received medical clearance to return to practice on Thursday. He has been on injured reserve since Sept. 13 with a sternoclavicular joint injury sustained in the preseason.

He signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Chiefs in March after playing three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens (2019-21) and two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals (2022-23).

Brown has 313 catches for 3,644 yards and 28 touchdowns in 72 career games (65 starts). He posted a 1,000-yard season with the Ravens in 2021.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs (12-1) could use Brown's track record of producing explosive plays as they enter the home stretch. Three of Kansas City's final four games are on the road, starting with Sunday's contest at the Cleveland Browns (3-10).
