The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled out wide receiver Hollywood Brown from Thursday's NFL opener against the Baltimore Ravens due a shoulder injury.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Friday that Brown was unlikely to play after suffering the injury during the team's first preseason game in August. The 27-year-old Brown is in his first season with the Chiefs after spending the last five seasons with the Ravens and Arizona Cardinals.

Brown is expected to miss between 4-6 weeks
