Report: Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton carted off with leg injury

Thornton had 108 receiving yards through three games for the 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs.

1 min read via Adam Schefter

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton is being carted off after what Adam Schefter of ESPN described as a gruesome lower-leg injury. The injury is reported, not officially announced by the team.

Thornton has caught 6 passes on 7 targets for 108 receiving yards in three games this season. His production has come in a limited receiving role, but he has converted nearly every opportunity into a reception.

The Chiefs are 3-0 and rank fourth in offensive EPA and fifth in defensive EPA among 32 teams. Thornton’s absence would remove a receiver who has supplied efficient early-season production for an unbeaten team.
