When the New England Patriots announced their inactives against the New York Jets 90 minutes before kickoff, Tyquan Thornton’s name was not on the list. After missing two straight games as a healthy scratch, the former second-round draft pick officially returned to the game day roster for Week 8.
For head coach Jerod Mayo, that was the result of the work Thornton put in behind the scenes over the last few days leading up to the divisional game.
“He looked good. He had a good practice last week as well,” Mayo told 98.
