PUP list possibly? I’d hate to redshirt him for the season. He needs reps.
I broke mine and it never aligned right when it healed but it's never been a problem. And you're right...it's deffo minor compared to a knee injury.The doom and gloom is nonsense. Collarbones are relatively harmless injuries and routinely heal without issue. It’s not a knee, ankle, or lower body injury that was impact his speed or confidence in his legs.
If it’s a minor fracture, he’ll be ready by week 1-2. If it’s more significant, week 3-5. Either way, this isn’t something that should have any meaningful impact on Thornton’s potential, physically or mentally, or have any impact on his ability to continue to do what he’s been doing so far. Unfortunate he won’t get the valuable practice reps but in the grand scheme of things this is small fries.
Two other things:
1. Guy needs to go down. Appreciate him fighting for yards, but get out of bounds or give yourself up.
2. Similarly, I appreciate the fact the guy is a willing blocker but the coaching staff is asking for trouble having him as a routine, inline, between the tackles blocker (as I’ve seen them do at least twice). That should be reserved for unique circumstances and should not be a regular occurrence.

Agreed. People were pooh-poohing his lack of muscle mass...turns out our worst fears were confirmed.Not surprising. When you draft a guy who is built like a pencil, you accept an increased risk of injuries. This makes an impact rookie season for TT low probability.
And the second guessing/trolling begins. Didn't hear you or anyone complaining throughout the summer when he was open every play.Not surprising. When you draft a guy who is built like a pencil, you accept an increased risk of injuries. This makes an impact rookie season for TT low probability.
