The Kansas City Chiefs players are enjoying a well-deserved moment off the field after finishing a grueling stretch in their schedule and clinching the top seed in the conference. On Saturday, veteran receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown took to his Instagram to share a story featuring injured teammate Rashee Rice with a familiar clock emoji.
Rice reposted the same photo of the duo on his Instagram account, also displaying the clock, which typically symbolizes a comeback. Brown posted similar clock emojis before returning to the lineup after missing significant time due to injury.
Rice underwent reconstructive knee surgery in October after an accidental collision with Patrick Mahomes during a matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The teasing social media post will have fans talking, but there hasn’t been any official word on his status for the postseason as an outside possibility.
Brown’s return in recent weeks jolted the receiver room, adding another weapon for Mahomes this postseason. Head coach Andy Reid shared his thoughts on the group with Brown in the lineup, contributing to a monitored snap count.
“Yeah, Hollywood [Brown] has done a great job. We’re trying to ease him back in. It’s like holding a horse back. Man, he wants to get back in every time we take him out, which is a positive thing.” said Reid during his Christmas Day postgame press conference. “He’s got a great attitude. But both those guys in there is a plus, for sure. I think they’re all doing well. They’re all playing good football right now. They all complement each other in certain ways, so I’d hate to just pick two of them out. They’re doing a good job there.”
Brown has nine catches for 91 yards in two games with Kansas City, creating great synergy alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Xavier Worthy.
