Less than a week away from the start of the NFL season, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid hinted at the availability of WR Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster and RB Samaje Perine for KC's Week 1 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens.
are less than a week away from the start of the 2024 NFL season, and head coach Andy Reid has provided good news and bad news regarding three players' status for Week 1."I don't think you'll have Hollywood this week," Reid said. "Hollywood won't be back this week, and we'll just see how it goes. But the kid's amazing. I mean, his progress has been incredible, but I wouldn't predict him being there this week.
Perine, who technically is not yet officially on the Chiefs' roster as of the publishing of this story, is joining a new offense. Smith-Schuster is returning to a familiar one after spending a year in New England. Reid was asked if he expected Perine and Smith-Schuster to be available on Thursday night despite being very recent additions for the team.
"Yes, absolutely," Reid said. "I think so. I've just gotta see with Perine on where he's at and picking everything up, I'm not gonna put him in a bad position obviously, but I think he's gonna be fine. He's been in here cranking away, so we'll see how everything goes.
Smith-Schuster projects to see the field less in Week 1 than Perine, with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson and perhaps Mecole Hardman now ahead of him on the depth chart. Still, as a trusted receiver who Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes trust to line up, read the defense, and execute the play correctly, Smith-Schuster should offer a handful of reliable snaps when KC needs an established professional on the field.
