The Jaguars signed Thornhill to their practice squad Monday. The 30-year-old safety was dropped by the Steelers on Nov. 10 but has quickly found a new home in Jacksonville. Thornhill appeared in nine games for the Steelers this season, recording 38 total tackles and one pass defended across 313 defensive snaps. He could be elevated to the Jaguars' active roster and play a depth role in the team's secondary as the season progresses.

Thornhill was waived by the Steelers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Thornhill has played in all nine contests with Pittsburgh this season, recording 38 total tackles (23 solo) and a pass defensed. The 30-year-old played sparingly in the last two contests though, as Jalen Ramsey has taken over as the team's starting free safety. Thornhill will now be subject to waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll enter free agency.

Thornhill recorded three tackles (two solo) in the Steelers' win over the Vikings on Sunday. DeShon Elliott and Chuck Clark started at safety for the Steelers against Minnesota, but Thornhill out-snapped Clark 50 to 31 behind Elliott's 100 percent playing-time clip. Through four games, Thornhill has recorded 25 tackles (14 solo), one pass breakup and one fumble recovery.

Thornhill recorded eight tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery in the Steelers' win over the Jets on Sunday. While Thornhill didn't start the game, he did play 84 percent of the defensive snaps. With DeShon Elliott suffering a knee injury that already has him ruled out for Week 2 against Seattle, both Thornhill and Chuck Clark should see elevated playing time on the back end of Pittsburgh's defense.

Thornhill said Monday that the Browns have informed him he will be released at the start of the new league year in March, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Thornhill will be designated a post-June 1 cut, a move that will save Cleveland $3.2 million against the cap for 2025. The veteran safety has one year remaining on the three-year, $21 million contract he inked with the team back in 2023. Thornhill struggled with injuries during his Browns tenure, playing just 11 regular-season games in each of his two campaigns with the team. Down the stretch in 2024, Thornhill found himself splitting defensive reps relatively evenly with Ronnie Hickman.
