Thornton needs to showcase himself to the new coaching staff and after leaving practice earlier this month, he's been working on the side without a definitive timetable for return despite Kubiak hoping he'd have his wide receiver available. In both the preseason opener on Aug. 13 and the second exhibition clash this past Thursday with the Houston Texans, you could see Thornton in street clothes on the sideline.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Thornton sidelined with injury; missed four practices and two preseason games with no return timeline.

Thornton has missed four straight practices and both the preseason opener on August 13 and the second exhibition game against Houston, sitting in street clothes on the sideline. Head coach Klint Kubiak stated the wide receiver has been banged up but expects him to return, though there is no definitive timetable for his return. With the 53-man roster cutdown on August 30, time is dwindling for Thornton to showcase himself to the new coaching staff.
