Tyquan Thornton News: Held without a catch

Thornton was not targeted during Sunday night's 30-17 win over Detroit.

Thornton fell back to earth Week 6, playing just 27 percent of offensive snaps and finishing without a target for the first time this season. His decline in usage and involvement bodes especially poorly with Rashee Rice (suspension) eligible for reinstatement Week 7 versus the Raiders. As such, Thornton looks positioned to work behind all of Rice, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster this Sunday. Such a role could relegate Thornton to little more than scripted downfield plays.
