Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown made his much-anticipated return to the field in last Saturday’s victory over the Houston Texans. He reflected on the injury recovery process during his conversation with reporters during Monday’s press conference.
“It hurt for sure like I was definitely heartbroken about it,” said Brown. “I felt like this was my best off-season, my best camp, and I felt good about where I was at. So when I first heard you gonna be out for a couple of weeks, I will be good. I’m like, Okay. And I found I had to get surgery. It was tough.”
Brown finished the Week 16 victory with five catches for 45 yards, an average of nine yards per reception. Throughout the recovery process, he leaned on his family and many in the franchise to get him to his official Chiefs debut.
“Processed it, but my family, it did a good job, supporting me, the staff here, everyone here was showing up every day, and I was still a part of everything,” said Brown. “So that was great for me, and even the fans, like how everybody embraced me. I haven’t played a snap here, and everyone showed me a lot of love.”
Brown will be an essential member of the team as Kansas City seeks its third consecutive Super Bowl title.
