The Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated after Week 4, though they might have some troubles at wide receiver following their win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday night.
Tyquan Thornton, who had five catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns, had a gruesome injury on a 55-yard catch-and-run play that will have him out for some time moving forward.
Also, Rashee Rice, who has been Patrick Mahomes’ top wide receiver, suffered a hamstring injury on a catch in the first quarter that knocked him out the remainder of the game.

With perhaps two of the Chiefs’ starting receivers set to miss time, a familiar face, who has been sending out interesting social media posts throughout the NFL season, found his way back to X.
Tyreek Hill, who made a name for himself with Mahomes and the Chiefs during their Super Bowl runs in years past, sent out a simple tweet after his old team completed their 30-27 victory over their AFC West rival.
“Hm,” the speedster tweeted.

It’s simple, it’s vague, but it’s also not too far from a stretch to think Hill, who continues recovery from a severe left knee dislocation and torn ligaments, might be hinting at wanting a reunion with the Chiefs after what he’s been doing since the start of the year.
From posting workout videos to sending similarly timed posts, Hill has been watching the league closely each week while showcasing that he seems to be in football shape.
In fact, he sent the same “hm” tweet, which NFL fans quickly reacted to in the comments. Fans from all teams were hoping that Hill was speaking about their team, but the Chiefs, at 4-0, seems to be a squad that he would want to join given their early chances at reaching the playoffs and making another Lombardi Trophy run.
On Sept. 9, Hill also called his old quarterback a “different man” after ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed that Mahomes would be playing Week 1 against the Denver Broncos just nine months after tearing his ACL and LCL.
And Hill hasn’t been shy about how he feels he can still impact a team in the league. He responded to a fan that reacted to a beach workout he videoed and posted, saying that “32 is not old still prime years,” referencing his age and how he looked in the video.
Then, as he was watching Week 3 play, Hill tweeted, “It’s almost time to get off the couch and get to work,” with a teary-eyed emoji. A couple of days later, he wrote, “I think I’m ready for some cold weather.”
That tweet made the Chiefs speculation even greater considering his old team, the Miami Dolphins, didn’t have many cold games in South Florida. But Kansas City is known for its cold weather later in the season, especially come playoff time, when he’s thrived in the past playing under head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who returned to the Chiefs this year.
Now that two key Chiefs players are hurt at the position he plays, perhaps Hill is getting serious about a potential reunion in the Midwest.
Until then, Hill will keep his workouts going and wait for the chance to strap on pads and start playing in the NFL once again – that is if a team wants his services in 2026.
