The Raiders placed Thornton (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.
It's still unclear what is bothering Thornton, but he'll now be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The 2025 fourth-rounder corralled just 10 of 30 targets for 135 scoreless yards across 15 regular-season appearances as a rookie last season and missed the entire preseason this summer. Under a new coaching staff, it's unclear what kind of role Thornton will have this season once healthy.

Thornton continues to make a case for a starting role in the Raiders offense, connecting with Geno Smith on a 70-yard touchdown during the team's first padded practice of training camp Monday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.
The 2025 fourth-round pick out of Tennessee has the size and speed to be a vertical threat for Las Vegas, and he flashed those traits Monday when he blew past cornerback Darien Porter to get under a deep pass from Smith. Veteran wideout Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers are locked in as the Raiders' top pass catchers, but Thornton is competing with Tre Tucker and fellow rookie Jack Bech for the other starting spot opposite Meyers in 12 personnel, which the team figures to use frequently under new coach Pete Carroll.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
