FS: Juan Thornhill

This is working under the assumption that Thornhill will be healthy and ready for opening day, whenever that might be. He is currently recovering from an ACL injury suffered in Week 17 of the NFL season. It’s not clear how the COVID-19 pandemic will impact his recovery timeline.

What is clear is that Thornhill was one of the best rookies for the Chiefs in 2019. If he returns at even 80%, he’ll make an immediate impact on the defense.
