Tyquan Thornton to Have Surgery, Facing 12-to-16-Week Recovery

Monday, October 5, 12:44 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (ankle) is expected to miss 12 to 16 weeks after undergoing extensive testing Monday. Ian Rapoport reported that Thornton will have surgery within the next week for the dislocated left ankle he suffered during Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. There is a real chance he could return late in the season or during the playoffs, though that will depend on how his recovery progresses. Thornton was having his best game of the year before the injury, catching five of eight targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He has 11 receptions for 219 yards and two scores through four games. The timetable takes Thornton out of the fantasy picture for the foreseeable future, while Kansas City will have to replace one of its top deep threats as he begins a lengthy recovery.

David Bell News

David Bell Hangs Up his Cleats

Tuesday, October 14, 7:08 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell (hip) announced on his X account on Tuesday that he is retiring from professional football. Bell will call it quits after suffering an off-the-field hip injury that put him on the Non-Football Injury list entering the 2025 season. The 24-year-old was a third-round selection by the Browns in the 2022 NFL draft out of Purdue. He never ended up being much of an asset for the Browns' passing game in his three seasons in the NFL, and his best showing came in his rookie campaign when he caught 24 of his 35 targets for 214 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) in 2022. Bell will finish his short NFL career with 41 receptions, 408 receiving yards, and three touchdowns (all in 2023) in 32 games played (six starts).
