News

  • Placed on IR

    Thornhill (calf) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Thornhill suffered the injury late in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, who relays that head coach Kevin Stefanski stated the Virginia product does have the potential to return this season. It's a tough blow to the Browns who will now be without their starting free safety for at least the next four weeks and are dealing with multiple injuries to their defense. Ronnie Hickman is expected to step up now in Thonrhill's stead.

  • Back at practice

    Thornhill (illness) returned to practice with the Browns on Monday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill missed Saturday's 23-10 preseason loss to the Packers while recovering from an illness, though no starters participated in the game. The 28-year-old is expected to operate as Cleveland's starting free safety in 2024 and it's unclear if he'll see any action this preseason.

  • Dealing with illness

    Thornhill missed Tuesday's practice as a result of an illness, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill will look to rest up and attempt to be ready to go for Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers. Regardless of whether he's feeling better or not, it's unlikely that the safety will see much action, if any, versus Green Bay.

  • Browns want more in 2024

    Thornhill posted 54 tackles and one pass defensed over 11 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: Thornhill had a noticeable drop-off in production from his days with the Chiefs. Both the team and the player expected more after Thornhill signed a three-year deal a year ago, and the Browns need more of his previous version this coming season. There was a nagging calf injury, and he may never have been completely healthy. Thornhill is expected to rejoin Grant Delpit (groin) on the back end of the Browns' defense.

  • Available Saturday

    Thornhill (calf) is good to go for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Texans.

    Analysis: Thornhill sat out the Browns' regular-season finale, but it looks like his health recovered in time for Saturday's tilt. Look for him to resume his usual responsibilities at safety assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Questionable for Saturday's matchup

    Thornhill (calf) is listed as questionable for the Browns' wild-card game versus the Texans on Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of Celveland.com reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill is in danger of missing his second consecutive game after sitting out the team's Week 18 loss to Cincinnati with a calf injury. The Browns are now at risk of being without both starting safeties for Saturday's matchup, considering Grant Delpit (groin) has already been ruled out. If Thornhill ends up being unable to play, Ronnie Hickman should start in his place.

  • Makes return to practice

    Thornhill (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: After missing the Browns' regular-season finale and being listed as a nonparticipant at practice Tuesday, Thornhill was able to take a positive step Wednesday toward possibly suiting up for the wild-card round. He'll still likely need to manage a full practice Thursday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Friday and potentially gameday.

  • Won't suit up at Cincy

    Thornhill (calf) is out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill unexpectedly appeared on the Browns' injury report Thursday with a calf issue, and now he'll miss his sixth game of the season in Week 18. In his absence, Ronnie Hickman may start at safety Sunday.

  • Pops up on injury report

    Thornhill (calf) was a limited participant at the Browns' practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Thornhill popped up on the injury report Thursday with an apparent calf injury, putting his status in question for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Bengals. The safety will look to return to a full workload at Friday's final session of the week, after which Cleveland's injury designations for Week 18 will be reported.

  • Quiet day Thursday

    Thornhill recorded four tackles (three solo) in Thursday's 37-20 win versus the Jets.

    Analysis: Despite leading Cleveland's safeties in snaps in Week 17 (55), Thornhill was only able to tally four total tackles in his return from his calf injury. He continues to play relatively well in coverage though, so he will likely retain a near every-down role in Week 18 at Cincinnati.

  • Active Thursday

    Thornhill (calf) is active for Thursday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: The starting free safety will return after missing three straight games. Thornhill has 50 tackles and a pass defensed in 10 appearances this season.

  • Questionable for Thursday vs. Jets

    Thornhill (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill is in jeopardy of missing a fourth consecutive game due to a calf injury he sustained during pregame of Week 14. If he's out again in Week 17, Ronnie Hickman will probably make the start at safety.

  • Listed as limited

    Thornhill (calf) is listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill is looking to return from a three-game absence due to a calf injury. His limited participation Monday is a positive sign for his status ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets, but his status will need to continue being monitored. Ronnie Hickman would presumably continue starting in Cleveland's secondary if Thornhill does not get the green light.

  • No-go for Week 16

    Thornhill (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill will miss a third straight contest due to the calf injury he's been dealing with for over a month. In his place, Ronnie Hickman will likely draw another start in Cleveland's secondary.

  • Still tending to injury

    Thornhill (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill hasn't played or practiced each of the last two weeks, and his absence continues as Week 16 prep begins. The Virginia product will work to get back on the practice field Thursday in hopes of returning Sunday against the Texans.

    Thornhill (calf) is out for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill will miss his second straight game Sunday due to a calf injury. In his absence, Ronnie Hickman will probably start at safety next to D'Anthony Bell against a run-heavy Chicago offense.

  • DNP to start week

    Thornhill (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Thornhill was set to return for Week 14 against the Jaguars after playing through a calf injury the two weeks prior, but he aggravated the issue during pregame warmups and sat out for the contest. His practice participation this week will provide more clarity on his availability for Sunday's game against the Bears.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Thornhill sustained a calf injury during pregame activities and was ruled out shortly before Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill has dealt with a lingering calf issue throughtout the season, which has sidelined him for two contests, including the Week 11 win against Pittsburgh. While he's played every snap over the last two games and carried no injury designation Sunday morning, it appears he aggravated the issue just before this 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, causing him to be ruled a last-minute scratch. Across 10 starts this season, the 28-year-old has recorded 50 tackles and one pass defended. With Thornhill out,…read more

  • Ready for Sunday

    Thornhill (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old safety was a full participant in Friday's practice, and it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past his calf issue. Thornhill has appeared in 10 games in his first season with the Browns, logging 50 total tackles and one pass deflection.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Thornhill (calf) did not participate at the Browns' practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill has played through his calf issue each of the last two weeks and even lead the team with seven tackles in Cleveland's 36-19 loss to the Rams, so his absence at practice to open the week isn't particularly concerning. The safety will look to return to the field at some point ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars at home.

  • Leading tackler in loss

    Thornhill logged seven total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: The 2019 second-round pick tallied his fourth game this season with seven stops, and he tied Martin Emerson for the team's leading tackler. Thornhill has had a productive year in his first season with Cleveland, recording 50 total tackles and one pass deflection through 10 appearances. The 28-year-old and the Browns' defense will look to rebound against a Jaguars team that will likely be without star quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) in Week 14.

  • Will play Sunday at Rams

    Thornhill (calf) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Rams, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: As he did in Week 12, it seems like Thornhill will be able to play through the calf issue he's nursing in Week 13. He was not on a pitch count in the Browns' loss at Denver in their last contest, so it's reasonable to expect he'll play a full complement of snaps again Sunday.

  • Still dealing with calf injury

    Thornhill (calf) will not participate at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill was able to play through his calf issue in Sunday's loss at Denver, but he's now missing the Browns' first practice of the new week as he tends to the injury. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play in Week 13 -- and it would be surprising if he wasn't able to.

    Thornhill (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill sustained a calf injury in Week 10 against the Browns and missed the following week against the Steelers. He was able to string together two consecutive limited practice sessions leading up to Sunday's game and will suit up for the contest. Thornhill has 37 tackles (27 solo) in eight games this season.

    Analysis: Thornhill missed the team's Week 11 win over the Steelers, but he has a chance to return Sunday in Denver. Rookie Ronnie Hickman would likely see additional playing time at free safety again if Thornhill remains sidelined against the Broncos.

  • Upgrades activity level

    Thornhill (calf) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill was absent from the Browns' Week 11 win over the Steelers, and after sitting out Wednesday's practice, the Virginia product appears to be trending in the right direction but should still be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos. His practice status for Friday could bring more clarity there on his chances of suiting up in Week 12.

    Analysis: Thornhill was forced out of Sunday's win at Baltimore early with a calf injury, which is now holding him out of the Browns' first practice of the new week. He'll probably need to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have a shot to suit up in Week 11.

    Analysis: Thornhill led the Browns in tackles during Sunday's loss and has now compiled seven or more tackles in three of the past four games. The 28-year-old is currently on pace for a new career high in tackles and will look to continue producing versus the Cardinals next week.

    Thornhill (calf) is active for Monday's matchup against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Thornhill missed the season opener due to a calf injury and was listed as questionable for Week 2. The 2019 second-round pick will be available to make his Browns debut Monday night, but it's unclear how big of a role he'll have right away. However, eventually, Thornhill should take over as a full-time starter.

    Analysis: Thornhill is being considered day-to-day, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.

    Thornill (calf) is inactive Week 1 against the Bengals.

    The Browns agreed to terms with Thornhill on a three-year contract Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill will change locales coming off his career-best campaign with the Chiefs in 2022, during which he logged 71 tackles, nine pass breakups, three interceptions and a sack over 16 regular-season games. In Cleveland, Thornhill is expected to immediately step in as the Browns' starting free safety alongside Grant Delpit, as the team also transitions to new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz this coming season.

  • Career-high output in 2022

    Thornhill registered a career-best 71 tackles (43 solo), three interceptions and a sack over 16 games during the 2022 regular season.

    Analysis: Aside from a slight downturn in his second season, Thornhill has churned out consistent campaigns on the back end of Kansas City's defense throughout his rookie contract. However, he's scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, so the Chiefs' brass will need to decide whether they want to keep him in town or allow him to explore free agency. The Chiefs have some wiggle room from a cap standpoint and not a ton of starters set to hit free agency this season, so the team could make a run at…read more

    Thornhill compiled 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 27-24 defeat against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Thornhill returned to his every-down role following a one-game absence with a calf injury. As a result, the safety finished with the Chiefs' second-most tackles behind prolific linebacker Nick Bolton (16). Thornhill also had what would have been his second interception of the season wiped away due to a defensive pass interference penalty by cornerback Trent McDuffie on the opening series of the game.

    Analysis: Thornhill missed his first game of the 2022 season in Week 12 versus the Rams, but he now appears to be trending toward returning in Week 13. Kansas City's secondary will have a tough task ahead of them Sunday, lining up opposite Ja'Marr Chase (hip) and Tee Higgins.

    Analysis: Thornhill sustained a calf injury during the Chiefs' Week 11 matchup versus the Chargers, ultimately leading to limited sessions on both Wednesday and Thursday, followed by no activity in Friday's practice.

  • Questionable for Sunday vs. Rams

    Thornhill (calf) did not participate at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Rams.

    Analysis: Limited practices Wednesday and Thursday would have seemed to have indicated that Thornhill was on track to play in Week 12, but his absence Friday casts a thick shadow over that proposition. Should Thornhill miss his first game of the 2022 season Sunday, rookie second-rounder Bryan Cook would likely be in line to start alongside Justin Reid at safety.

  • Career-best outing in Sunday's win

    Thornhill recorded 11 tackles (nine solo), one interception and two passes defensed during Sunday's 44-23 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Thornhill set a new career high with 11 tackles in Sunday's matchup versus the 49ers, while he also snatched his first interception of the season in the contest. Additionally, the 27-year-old was the only Chiefs' player to play 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Thornhill now enters Kansas City's bye week with full momentum, and he'll attempt to replicate a similar performance in Week 9 against the Titans.

  • Notches first INT of 2021

    Thornhill recorded six tackles (four solo) and his first interception of the season Sunday versus the Broncos.

    Analysis: Thornhill's rookie season drew some buzz thanks to a trio of interceptions and a promising tackle total (58). While he has just one interception in each of the last two seasons -- 2021 still has some time for him to add to it -- Thornhill seems to be trending up in his tackle count. If he maintains his current pace, the third-year safety would finish out the season with a career-best of about 64 tackles.

  • Records nine tackles

    Thornhill had nine tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 27-3 loss at Tennessee.

    Analysis: Thornhill made his second consecutive start at free safety in the blowout loss, and he's played all but three defensive snaps between the two contests. The 26-year-old had strong production Sunday but is unlikely to be an IDP option going forward.

  • Moving into starting role

    The Chiefs plan to start Thornhill at free safety in Sunday's game in Washington ahead of Daniel Sorensen, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Perhaps no player in the Chiefs' much-maligned defense has struggled as much as Sorensen, who Pro Football Focus ranks as its 83rd safety among the 85 players at the position who have played 100-plus snaps this season. In addition to missing nine tackles -- 20.5 percent of his overall opportunities, per Pro Football Reference -- Sorensen has also been responsible for a 153.8 passer rating when targeted in coverage this season. The Chiefs are hoping that Thornhill can provide an upgrade at the…read more

  • Recovered from groin injury

    Thornhill (groin) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Thornhill's full participation in practice Wednesday indicates that he's no longer bothered by the groin injury he sustained in early August. With fellow safety Tyrann Mathieu's (illness) status for Sunday's season opener against the Browns in doubt, Thornhill regaining full health has become an even more important development for the Chiefs.

  • Suffers groin injury

    Thornhill (groin) was injured during Monday's practice, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Thornhill's injury remains undisclosed. The Chiefs are counting on the third-year pro to start across from Tyrann Mathieu, so it may make sense to take a cautious approach to his recovery.

  • First interception of season

    Thornhill recorded six tackles, all solo, and an interception across 73 defensive snaps in Monday's win over the Patriots.

  • Leads Chiefs' Week 3 tackle count

    Thornhill topped the Chiefs' defense with six tackles (five solo) Monday against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Although he hasn't quite put up the numbers to suggest a repeat of his rookie season, Thornhill and Tyrann Mathieu were the only two players to play every defensive snap Monday. He should continue to see consistent action at safety moving forward, but his numbers haven't put him on too many IDP radars just yet.

  • Cleared for full contact

    Thornhill (knee) has been cleared for full-contact participation in practice, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill's recovery from a torn ACL has been a swift one, as he suffered the injury in Week 17 of last season. He's reportedly looked as explosive as ever since retaking the field and should be in line to retake his spot as the team's starting safety alongside Tyrann Mathieu come Week 1.

  • Logs limited activity

    Thornhill (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Thornhill came off the active/PUP list Wednesday after passing his physical, so it's no surprise to see him being eased back into the mix. The 24-year-old is coming off an impressive rookie season, and he'll be well positioned to serve as the Chiefs' top free safety once he fully moves past the ACL he tore in the 2019 regular-season finale.

  • Comes off PUP list

    The Chiefs activated Thornhill (knee) from the active/PUP list Wednesday after he passed a physical, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill's rookie season came to an end when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee Week 17, causing the 2019 second-rounder to miss the Chiefs' Super Bowl run. He's made significant progress in his rehab, though, and appears ready to partake in practice in some capacity. Thornhill's status for the Chiefs' Week 1 matchup with the Texans remains undecided, but if he's able to suit up, he likely will serve as the team's starting free safety.

  • Placed on PUP list

    The Texans placed Thornhill (knee) on the PUP list Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill missed the Chiefs' Super Bowl run after tearing the ACL in his left knee Week 17. There's some hope he'll be healthy by the regular season, but he has yet to recover enough to avoid Friday's move. When he does achieve full health -- or at least enough to get back on the field -- the 2019 second-round pick will man free safety for Kansas City.

  • On track for training camp

    Thornhill (knee) is expected to be healthy in time for the start of training camp, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the regular-season finale, but he appears to be progressing well in his recovery. Thornhill could still be eased into action early on, but there's no indication his status for the start of the season will be in question.

  • Expected back for Week 1

    The Chiefs expect Thornhill (knee) to be ready for the 2020 regular-season opener, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill is rehabbing a torn ACL sustained during Kansas City's 2019 regular-season finale, and it looks as though the expectation is for him to make a return for at least part of training camp or the preseason. The 24-year-old was a full-time starter as a rookie, finishing with 58 tackles (42 solo), five pass breakups, three interceptions and a touchdown.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Thornhill (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill suffered a torn ACL in the regular-season finale, so the move to injured reserve was simply a matter of time. In Thornhill's absence, Armani Watts figures to see increased work after seeing his highest snap total of the season Week 17.

  • Torn ACL confirmed

    Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Thornhill suffered a torn left ACL during Week 17's regular-season finale against the Chargers, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thornhill has played a starting role at free safety since Week 1, so his season-ending injury will be a notable blow to Kansas City's secondary heading into the playoffs. In the rookie second-round pick's stead, Daniel Sorensen will likely slot into the starting lineup. Thornhill will set his sights on recovery, though the timing of his injury sheds some doubt on his chances of returning to full health for the start of the 2020 season.

  • Serious injury feared

    Thornhill will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of a knee injury that forced him out of Sunday's win against the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Chiefs fear Thornhill's injury could be serious enough to keep the rookie second-round pick out for the playoffs. The Virginia product has been a starter at free safety since Week 1, and he's recorded 58 tackles, five pass breakups and three interceptions. The results of the MRI will be available at some point Monday, and Daniel Sorensen is next in line to start if Thornhill is indeed ruled out.

  • Done for day

    Thornhill (knee) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: The fact that Thornhill was immediately downgraded to out is not a good sign for the injury, especially considering he exited early in the second quarter. With the Virginia product sidelined, look for Daniel Sorensen to take over as the team's starting free safety. More information regarding Thornhill's injury should arise heading into the playoffs.
