Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton was carted off with a serious ankle injury during Sunday's game, Ian Rapoport reported. Thornton had 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns before leaving.
Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet): During the best game of his career, #Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton is carted off with a serious ankle injury. He has 111 yards and 2 TDs.
Rapoport described it as the best game of Thornton's career, making the injury a major in-game loss after a standout performance. Adam Schefter separately reported that Thornton was carted off after a lower-leg injury; the two wire reports establish the severity of the moment but do not provide a diagnosis beyond Rapoport's serious ankle description.
No examination result or return timetable was included in the reports. Kansas City will have to finish the game without Thornton, and the next medical update will determine whether the injury affects his availability beyond Sunday. For now, the confirmed news is a serious ankle injury and a cart-assisted exit after he produced 111 yards and two scores.
