Tyquan Thornton was carted off the field during the fourth quarter of Kansas City's Week 4 matchup against the Raiders after suffering a serious ankle injury. Patrick Mahomes had thrown a deep pass to Thornton on what was described as a big catch late in the game, but the wide receiver was injured on the play. According to NFL Trade Rumors, Thornton made the catch and initially didn't realize the severity of his injury until he attempted to stand up and celebrate.
One social media post suggested the ankle was pointing the wrong direction following what was described as a hip-drop tackle during the completion. The Chiefs defeated the Raiders 23-19, with the injury occurring during the decisive fourth quarter. Beyond confirmation that Thornton was carted off the field and the injury was serious, the reporting available does not include a diagnosis or timeline for his status.
