Five bold predictions for the Patriots in week five

Tyquan Thornton catches a touchdown

You came for the bold predictions, so I’ve saved the boldest for last: rookie receiver Tyquan Thornton will catch a touchdown on Sunday. Thornton has been out since August with a collarbone injury but has returned to practice this week and was spotted at Friday’s practice without the red non-contact jersey on. The Patriots have until 4:00 PM EST Saturday to activate Thornton and have an open spot on the 53-man roster with Brian Hoyer now on IR.

Absent from #Patriots practice:

CB Jalen Mills, DL DaMarcus Mitchell and LaBryan Ray. Looks like we might have another Jack Jones start this weekend.

I think Thornton sees the field on Sunday and the offense tries to air one out to the speedster out of Baylor.
