Marquise “Hollywood” Brown’s stint in Philadelphia appears to be over almost as quickly as it began.
According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, via Chiefs Wire, the Eagles are waiving Brown after both sides agreed to part ways. Schultz also reported that Brown is expected to land with a playoff contender.
Brown joined Philadelphia on a one-year deal in March after spending the previous two seasons with Kansas City. In four appearances with the Eagles, he caught five passes for 63 yards on eight targets, while also rushing twice for 12 yards, according to RotoWire.
His final game in an Eagles uniform came in Sunday’s 19-11 loss to the New York Giants. Brown was on the field for 35 offensive snaps, and his lone target produced a 16-yard catch. The defeat dropped Philadelphia to 2-7 heading into its bye week.
Brown’s role in Kansas City last season was much bigger. He finished with 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 2025, his second year with the Chiefs. His top NFL season came earlier, with the Baltimore Ravens in 2021, when he hauled in 91 passes for 1,008 yards.
The Ravens took Brown in the first round in 2019 before sending him to the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. He spent two seasons in Arizona before signing with Kansas City in 2024, making Philadelphia his fourth NFL stop.
Kansas City has already added another receiver this week, acquiring Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts at the trade deadline. The move gives Patrick Mahomes another target as the Chiefs enter Week 10 at 6-2, and Downs has already made a positive first impression with his new teammates ahead of Sunday’s trip to face the Atlanta Falcons.
Brown’s time with Mahomes gives him some familiarity with the Chiefs’ offense, but Schultz’s report did not name Kansas City as a possible landing spot.
Because Tuesday’s trade deadline has passed, Brown will now go through waivers. Any team that claims him would take on the rest of his contract. If he clears, he can sign with any team.
That leaves another receiver available for clubs in need of help down the stretch. Brown’s brief run in Philadelphia never got off the ground, but his production with Kansas City a year ago shows what he can still bring in a larger role.

Chiefs Suddenly Face A Backfield Question Before Falcons Matchup
A late-week injury note has added a little uncertainty to Kansas Citys backfield ahead of its matchup with Atlanta. Kenneth Walker was held out of practice Friday because of a tight groin and is now listed as questionable, giving the Chiefs one more thing to monitor as they prepare for a game that comes with plenty of attention for a team sitting at 6-2.
Andy Reid offered updates on Walkers condition as the Chiefs worked through their final prep, and the timing matters with the roster already seeing movement elsewhere. Kansas City recently added wide receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts, so the offense is adjusting on multiple fronts while trying to keep its momentum intact against the Falcons.

Chiefs Get A Familiar Sunday Broadcast For Rare Falcons Trip
The Chiefs rare trip to Atlanta comes with a familiar Sunday afternoon feel, at least for viewers back home. Kansas City will face the Falcons at noon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and the game will air locally on KCTV (Ch. 5) with CBS Sports top broadcast team on the call.
For a team that has spent much of the season in the national spotlight, the broadcast assignment is another reminder of how closely every Chiefs game is being watched. The Week 10 slate also comes with a full set of NFL broadcast pairings, but this one stands out because of the matchup itself, with Kansas City heading to a building it does not visit often and trying to handle business on the road in a spot that has not been kind to the franchise in years.

Chiefs Suddenly Face A Backfield Problem Ahead Of Falcons Game
Patrick Mahomes is expected to be out there for Week 10, which is a huge relief for Kansas City after the recent injury scare around its quarterback. But the bigger concern heading into the Falcons game may be the backfield, where Kenneth Walker III is suddenly in question because of a groin injury and did not practice Friday.
If Walker cannot go, the Chiefs would be looking at Emmett Johnson to step into the lead role against Atlanta. It is the kind of late-week shift that can change how a game is approached, especially for a team trying to keep its offense steady while managing a key health issue in the run game. [Read more 🡒]
