Kansas City also elevated S Deon Bush and TE Anthony Firkser from the practice squad and placed TE Baylor Cupp on the practice squad injured list. 

Brown hasn’t played a regular season game since signing with Kansas City after suffering a shoulder injury in the preseason opener.

Brown, 27, is a former first-round pick of the Ravens out of Oklahoma back in 2019. He was traded to the Cardinals during the 2022 draft.

Brown was entering the final year of his four-year, $11.8 million rookie contract when the Cardinals picked up his fifth-year option for the 2023 season worth $12,909,000 fully guaranteed.

The Chiefs signed Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million this past offseason. 

In 2023, Brown appeared in 14 games and recorded 51 receptions for 574 yards (11.3 YPR) and four touchdowns.
