The Kansas City Chiefs have been led by Patrick Mahomes for the past several seasons.

Mahomes has been able to lead the Chiefs to success during his time with Andy Reid, having won three Super Bowl titles and five AFC titles.

While the Chiefs entered the season with high hopes of competing for a league title, they've received countless setbacks in the injury realm as well as the win-loss category.

The Chiefs are heading into Week 15 with a 6-7 record. Kansas City has lost four of its last five games, having recently suffered a loss to the Houston Texans.

Their only win in the last several weeks came against the Indianapolis Colts, one of the top teams in the AFC, formerly led by quarterback Daniel Jones.

As Kansas City looks to get back in the win column, it announced the return of wide receiver Hollywood Brown.

On Thursday, brown returned to the lineup after dealing with a personal issue that kept him out of practice the day prior.

Hollywood Brown is playing in his second season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brown has posted five touchdowns and 494 yards on 42 receptions during his seventh season in the NFL, having previously played for the Arizona Cardinals and the Baltimore Ravens.

The return of Hollywood Brown to Kansas City Chiefs practice is great news for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the offense.

Mahomes thrives with a plethora of options at wide receiver and clearly views Brown as a red zone threat, which is a place the Chiefs have struggled to find consistency this season.
