Tyquan Thornton’s much-anticipated regular season debut might come sooner than expected, according to a report from 98.5 The Sports Hub’s radio personality Scott Zolak.
The New England Patriots’ rookie receiver had initially been pegged to be possibly be out for up to eight weeks after undergoing surgery for a collarbone injury. However, per Zolak, the second-round draft pick out of Baylor is “close” and “getting back to normal.”
An electric player like Thornton in the lineup would give the Patriots offense another speedster to win one-on-one matchups and potentially take the top off the defense.
