On Saturday, the New England Patriots cut ties with 2022 second-round pick Tyquan Thornton. Despite the team needing desperate help at receiver, Thornton never got onto the field for the Pats, and his release, while sudden (few players of note get released on a random Saturday during the season), was not necessarily unexpected. It was clear months ago a fresh start would be best for both sides.
The Kansas City Chiefs saw what went down and decided to try their hand at utilizing Thornton's talent. On Monday, the defending champs inked Thornton to a practice squad deal, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
