Thornton's dislocated ankle carries 12-16 week recovery; playoff return possible.

Thornton suffered a dislocated ankle in Week 6 against Las Vegas and is scheduled for surgery this week with a 12-16 week recovery timeline. Ian Rapoport reported that after extensive tests, Thornton has "a real chance at a late-season or playoff return." The 12-week mark falls on December 28 (day after Week 16 home game vs. San Francisco), positioning him for potential Divisional Round availability. At the time of injury, Thornton led the Chiefs in yards per reception (19.9), ranked second in receiving yards (219), and was the only wide receiver with multiple touchdowns (both vs. Las Vegas).
