Why Juan Thornhill got less snaps in LV
This sucks. Sounds like he’s not quite back to it with that knee. Not sure he’ll be as effective the rest of the season.

Not sure where you'd get that he'll be less effective the rest of the season.
Sounds to me like he's hitting that wall and they've decided to scale things back a bit. It's entirely possible that getting some rest now allows him to be MORE effective later in the season. It certainly does suck though, the guy was on a pro bowl track last year before he got hurt. |

Part of it is almost surely mental. It's pretty tough, especially with your first knee injury, to have complete confidence in your knee at first. All it takes is to have some unexplained pain/swelling/whatever during/after a game or a practice to set your mind wondering if everything's really okay.
But I feel confident that eventually this season he'll be 100% back to what he was at the end of last season before he got hurt. It's just going to take a little time.

For a young NFL player it has to be one of the scariest injuries around.

Another piece from Arrowhead Pride about Thornhill still battling back. Comments from Honey Badger.
“I’ve been through [an] ACL twice,” fellow safety Tyrann Mathieu told reporters on Wednesday. “I remember when I went through my ACL, it wasn’t until a year [or] two years after until I really began to feel like myself again.” Mathieu seemed to be confirming what Reid had implied — that Thornhill needs more time to get back to his 2019 form, saying that he would counsel his young comrade to be patient. “I think everybody’s body is different,” added Mathieu, “but I think the most important thing we all have to kind of understand is that patience. It’s going to take some time to get there — and there will be a lot of expectations from other people outside of you who want you to reach your destination quicker than [it’s] possible.” From having been through a similar experience, Mathieu clearly feels badly that Thornhill hasn’t been seeing the same amount of work. “Obviously it’s a challenge to begin a new role — a lesser role — to not be on the field as much, but he’s still the same guy. He’s still becoming a leader for us. He’s still very vocal on the field, on the sideline and the meeting rooms. And I think that’s all you can really ask for from a guy like that who is going through what he’s going through. He still has the same smile — has the same heart.” https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2020/...rom-his-injury

Sounds like Thorny is working through it. He'll be fine. It just takes time.

Exactly. Takes a full 2yrs for the majority to recover fully and Peterson was an elite exception to the rule. You can't compare anyone to Peterson.

Makes sense. No need to ruin the next 3 years of his career by pushing him too hard.
Who knows if Mathieu is still here after next year. Juan’s future role is much more important than his current one. Would still like to see more of Watts instead of Dirty Dan as mentioned but I’ll leave that up to Spags since all he does is win Super Bowls. |
