The Kansas City Chiefs have been hampered by injuries in 2024, including losing running back Isiah Pacheco since Week 2. Pacheco was set to return in Week 12 but was not quite ready to take the field after fracturing his fibula early on in the season.

Defensive end Charles Omenihu has yet to make his regular-season debut, as he has been recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in the AFC Championship game in 2023. Speedy wide receiver Hollywood Brown also suffered a training camp injury that has kept him out of 2024 so far. However, it appears his return is coming very soon.
Brown took to Instagram to showcase his return is coming in a new workout video. He is shown in a Chiefs helmet catching footballs one-handed in what appears to be a training facility.
Nick Jacobs showcased the video on X, which shows Brown in Chiefs gear and working out. Brown also used a clock emoji in the video, which matches up to a similar post he made on X earlier this month.
The social media Chiefs fanbase became electric when Brown posted a simple clock emoji on his X page, indicating that he was ready to return to action soon.
Brown has been out since before the regular season began, and it was revealed he suffered a sternoclavicular injury. The former Arizona Cardinals receiver was stated to not make it back the entire 2024 season. Now, it appears he is ready to return to help the Chiefs with an even bigger playoff push.
The Chiefs have dealt with several injuries to their offensive stars. Pacheco has yet to return but is expected to in Week 13. Fellow wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster has also been dealing with a hamstring issue but has since returned in Week 12. He secured one catch for 12 yards against the Carolina Panthers.
To combat the injuries and also give Patrick Mahomes a solid veteran to throw to, the Chiefs pulled off a huge trade by landing former Tennessee Titans receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins has been a solid addition but has yet to secure a 100-yard game with the team.
With Pacheco and Brown returning to the lineup, this Chiefs team is going to be even more formidable. Brown can provide another deep target threat for the Chiefs offense and should form a solid receiving corps with tight end Travis Kelce and rookie receiver Xavier Worthy.
