Former Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton plans to sign with the Chiefs on their practice squad, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Chiefs are adding a speedy receiver to their practice squad.

Thornton was waived by the Patriots last Saturday and now has a new home in Kansas City. The former No. 50 overall pick from the 2022 draft class has had a rough start to his career, appearing in just 28 games through three seasons while posting a line of 39-385-2 in those games. Thornton broke out in his fourth and final season at Baylor when he caught 62 passes for 948 yards and 10 touchdowns and became a second-round pick the following year. He blazed a 4.28 at the NFL Scouting Combine, but the speed has yet to translate to any kind of professional success. Now on the Chiefs' practice squad, Thornton will look to restart his career with one of the league's best teams.
