KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs will be without rookie free safety Juan Thornhill for the playoffs after learning he tore his left ACL in Sunday's regular season ending victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
"He's had a heck of a year," Reid said of Thornhill, a second-round draft pick who started all 16 games. "He's a good football player and has a great future ahead of him. This will slow him down a little bit but he'll be back and ready to go."
Thornhill finished the regular season with three interceptions, which was second on the Chiefs.
