Tyquan Thornton, wide receiver for the New England Patriots, has been placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury. He is expected to miss at least the first four weeks of the season. This comes after Thornton was already sidelined during the spring with a soft-tissue injury. Fantasy football players are advised not to roster him in redraft leagues. The top four wide receivers for the Patriots at the start of the season are projected to be JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, and Demario Douglas.
