Chiefs News: Raiders DB not fined for tackle on Tyquan Thornton

The NFL has cleared Las Vegas Raiders defensive back Treydan Stukes of any wrongdoing regarding his tackle on Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton. Despite concerns that the play constituted an illegal hip-drop tackle, league officials determined the action was within the rules.

The incident occurred during the final four minutes of the Chiefs' 30-27 victory, resulting in an ankle injury that will keep Thornton sidelined until at least January.
