On Monday’s mailbag edition of Arrowhead Pride’s Out of Structure podcast, we answered all your Twitter questions about the Kansas City Chiefs’ 33-29 season-opening victory over the Cleveland Browns.
One question prompted us to discuss the performance of safety Juan Thornhill, who was starting in place of safety Tyrann Mathieu — a gameday inactive following a precautionary decision by head coach Andy Reid. Thornhill and safety Daniel Sorensen manned the back end of the defense, playing 95% of the defensive snaps together.
When Mathieu returns for Week 2 — as Reid said he would during Monday’s press conference — the starting safeties are likely to be Mathieu and Sorensen, as they were throughout training camp and the preseason.
