Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Brown (shoulder) is "getting close" to practicing and is "champing at the bit" to return, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Reid declined to provide an estimated date for Brown's return and didn't say how much the wideout would need to practice before making his season debut. Since the Chiefs didn't open Brown's 21-day evaluation window Wednesday, he presumably won't be a candidate to return from injured reserve for this Sunday's game in Cleveland, and he probably should be viewed as a longshot for the team's Week 16 game against the Texans. A return at some point over the final two weeks of the regular season could be more realistic for Brown, and if nothing else, the Chiefs seemingly expect him to be a major contributor during the playoffs.
