Much like the start of the 2022 season, it looks like Tyquan Thornton won’t be a part of the New England Patriots offense when the team kicks off the 2023 regular season just over one week from now.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Mike Reiss each reported that Thornton will be headed to injured reserve on Wednesday, which comes following Tuesday’s roster cutdowns.
Due to the league’s rules, Thornton initially was placed on the Patriots 53-man roster, and is now being given that designation ahead of the season. He’ll be eligible to return after Week 4.
