Tyquan Thornton had a big game for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but unfortunately it ended with a gruesome injury that forced the wide receiver off the field. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Thornton on a two-point deep drive late with the Raiders, but crumpled to the ground after rising to celebrate a 55-yard reception. Players from both sides looked concerned as Thornton lay on the grass until the cart arrived to take him to the locker room.
The Chiefs punted a few plays later for the go-ahead touchdown by Kenneth Walker. It must be hard to watch your teammate go down and immediately move on to the next game. The Chiefs quickly scored again on another touchdown by Walker to take control of the game late in the fourth quarter.
Thornton had five catches, 111 yards and two touchdowns at the time of his injury. Thornton really had a breakout game after suffering the biggest injury of his career.
Here’s a video of Toronto being taken off the field:
Let’s hope Thornton is okay.
We will update this story as it develops.
