Thornton logged 12 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Commanders while catching one of his four targets for seven yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Per Reiss, all of Thornton's Week 9 snaps came on the Patriots' first three series, with coach Bill Belichick confirming that Thornton -- who had approached the contest dealing with a foot injury -- was available for action afterward. With just three catches on seven targets for 15 yards in three games to date, Thornton is off the fantasy radar for now.
