The Kansas City Chiefs had to do without rookie safety Juan Thornhill on Thursday during their OTA session at Arrowhead Stadium’s practice facility. In his media availability, head coach Andy Reid said Thornhill had tweaked a calf muscle, and the team was going to let him sit out until it was healed.
The Chiefs will want Thornhill back as soon as possible. With each passing day, the 6-foot, 210-pound free safety seems more prominent in the team’s plans for 2018. Veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu said on Thursday that Thornhill has demonstrated a nose for the ball during offseason workouts.
