Tyquan Thornton

Tyquan Thornton started Thursday’s preseason game against the Eagles but was not targeted.

Despite the statistical air ball, tonight was an indication that Thornton’s roster spot is likely secure after all after he spent much of the summer bandied about as a potential cut. It’s still impossible to forecast re-draft fantasy value for the 24-year-old, but perhaps he will end up making good on the reset opportunity provided by Bill Belichick’s ouster.
