  "summary": "Tyquan Thornton, a Chiefs receiver, was carted off the field on Sunday after suffering an apparent serious lower-leg injury during the fourth quarter of the team's matchup against the Raiders. Thornton caught a 55-yard pass down to the Las Vegas 5-yard line before being tackled by safety Treydan Stukes, who landed on Thornton's ankle in a hip-drop tackle. The injury was evident as Thornton was seen with his left foot/leg in an air cast and positioned unnaturally. Despite the setback, the Chiefs managed to secure a 23-19 lead after Kenneth Walker caught a 2-yard touchdown, though their subsequent two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful.",
