De’Anthony Thomas – Noteworthy – Injury
WR De’Anthony Thomas will be out indefinitely after sustaining a broken right leg during practice on Thursday.
Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said that Thomas was injured in a “freak accident, when he was stepped on from behind and suffered a fracture near the same place suffered a broken bone in the leg during the last game of the 2017 season. After that injury, Thomas had a rod implanted in the leg during emergency surgery the next day after, but Burkholder said the rod remained in place during the current incident and was not bent. Burkholder added that indications are that Thomas does not need to have another surgery, but he could go on the Injured Reserve list if the Chiefs believe he will be out for several weeks.
