Out Saturday Thompson (knee) will not suit up this Saturday against Minnesota, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact After suffering a knee injury in week 1 against Penn State, Thompson has yet to step on the gridiron as he continues to deal with this lingering knee injury. During the 2021 season, Thompson put up his best numbers racking up 457 receiving yards and four touchdowns. There's optimism that the senior will return next week where he'll serve as a viable wideout for Purdue.

Anticipating another missed game Thompson (knee) is considered doubtful to play in Saturday's contest against Minnesota, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact Thompson injured his knee during the team's season opener against Penn State, and he's ultimately failed to take the field since then. With the team expressing doubt regarding the 6-foot-3 receiver's Week 5 availability almost a full week in advance, it indicates that there's likely still a ways to go in his recovery process. While Thompson remains sidelined, Charlie Jones should continue serving as Purdue's clear top option in the passing game, while Tyrone Tracy and TJ Sheffield are in line to receive additional targets.

Not expected to play Saturday Thompson (knee) is not expected to play Saturday against Florida Atlantic, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Status in question for Saturday Purdue coach Jeff Brohm said that Thompson is a game-time decision for Saturday's game versus Florida Atlantic, Mike Carmin of Lafayette Journal & Courier reports.

Impact Thompson has not played in 2022 since injuring his knee against Penn State. If the senior wideout is not able to play Saturday, expect Charlie Jones, Tj Sheffield and Deion Burks to continue to see enhanced production.

Likely to miss Week 4 Head coach Jeff Brohm said Thompson (knee) is probably doubtful for Saturday's game against Florida Atlantic, Mike Carmin of Lafayette Journal & Courier reports.

Impact Thompson injured his knee during the team's season opener against Penn State and has since missed Purdue's last two contests. The senior wide receiver failed to travel with the team for their game against Syracuse, indicating that his knee still has some recovering to do. If Thompson is sidelined once again, expect the Boilermakers to continue leaning heavily on fellow WR Charlie Jones, while TJ Sheffield, Deion Burks and Tyrone Tracy should all be in line for increased production.

Doesn't make trip Thompson (knee) didn't travel for Saturday's game against Syracuse, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact Thompson should see plenty of reps when healthy, but he will skip a second straight contest while working back from a knee issue. His next opportunity to return arrives next Saturday versus FAU.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not spotted in warmups Thompson (knee) hasn't appeared in warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Syracuse, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact Coach Jeff Brohm labeled Thompson doubtful earlier in the week, so it's not a big surprise that he's in line to miss another contest. Charlie Jones is still the clear leader of the wide receiver unit, with Tyrone Tracy, TJ Sheffield, Mershawn Rice and Deion Burks all potentially part of the mix.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Thompson (knee) is a game-time decision Saturday against Syracuse, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact It's still unclear if Thompson will be able to play Saturday with both teams on the field for warmups and kickoff approaching. Thompson has been considered doubtful throughout the week so even if he plays, it could be in a limited fashion. Charlie Jones and Tyrone Tracy have been the top producers in the Purdue passing attack thus far.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful versus Syracuse Purdue announced that Thompson (knee) will be doubtful to play Saturday against Syracuse.

Impact Thompson has three catches for 28 yards in one game so far in 2022. Thompson suffered a knee injury versus Penn State and will likely target Purdue's game against Florida Atlantic to return.

Ready for 2022 season Thompson (knee) is set to be a contributor for the Boilermakers this season, Scott Horner of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Thompson underwent surgery on both his knees after last season, so he sat out spring practice in order to continue recovering. At Big Ten Football media days coach Jeff Brohm mentioned that Thompson will be a contributor this season, indicating that he is healthy and ready to return to the field. As one of the team's top wideouts who notched 457 yards and four touchdowns lase season, this is a great addition to the Purdue offense.

Set to miss spring practice Thompson (knee) will miss out on spring practice, Tom Dienhart of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Thompson underwent surgery on both of his knees following the season, so it's not exactly surprising that he won't be up to speed in time to contribute to spring ball. However, Thompson's display during the bowl game following David Bell's departure for NFL prep could position him for a key role in the offense next season. Thompson finished out 2021 with 30 grabs for 457 yards and four touchdowns. Of that total, seven catches for 2217 yards and two scores came int the bowl game.

The Indianapolis native cited that he wanted to be closer to his family, and especially his little brother, who just beat cancer after battling over the last year. Thompson will still have three years of eligibility remaining with the Boilermakers and will look to turn in a healthy season after playing in just four games in 2020 due to a leg injury.
