He is clearly out for the season.  Thornton is also out for a TBD amount of additional time.

Bru IMO was our most productive WR, or maybe Squirrel is, thank goodness he is healthy.

Keyton is pretty good, so with Squirrel and Ketyon we seem okay at the 1-2 slots, but what do we do for a slot?  The guys behind them are pretty inexperienced.

A caller on Vol Calls this morning floated the idea of giving Dee Williams a shot at WR.  If we struggle there, I say why not....

Nimrod & Webb have had limited playing time. We have an off week. What happened to Thornton? Do you have scoop? He was a game time scratch. I didn't get the impression it was overly serious.

I heard Thornton has a hamstring issue. Hopefully he can heal it up over the next two weeks.

They got most of the snaps in the scrimmages (one almost ALL) this year plus a LOT of plays the 2nd half last week (on the field together for over a quarter).  They have improved noticeably from last year.
Still have a ways to go and must prove they are every down WRs

The cupboard is not bare, but it is getting a bit thin

I see Warren picking up a lot of throws going forward, probably play more 12 formation going forward till Thornton heals

A caller on Vol Calls this morning floated the idea of trying Dee Williams at WR if need be.  Why not?  If it makes sense...

Haven't seen anything in writing as to what the injury is, but Pirate says he heard its a hammy
