Brenen Thompson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out for Week 4 Thompson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Thompson will miss a second consecutive game while working through a quadriceps injury. He was unable to practice during Week 4 prep, so a limited session ahead of Week 5 against the Broncos would indicate that the rookie fourth-rounder is progressing in his recovery. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Derius Davis will both work in rotational roles behind Ladd McConkey (foot), Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris in Thompson's absence.

Not yet ready to practice Thompson (quadriceps) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Thompson is dealing with a quad injury that already sidelined him for this past Sunday's loss to Buffalo. He's begun Week 4 prep with consecutive DNPs, so his chance of suiting up Sunday versus Seattle is looking quite grim. Prior to getting hurt, Thompson recorded one catch on three targets for 13 yards over his first two games.

Ruled out for Week 3 vs. Buffalo Thompson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact A quadriceps injury prevented Thompson from practicing during Week 3 prep, and the rookie fourth-rounder will look to progress enough in his recovery to return for Week 4 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 4. Tre' Harris, Derius Davis and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are all in line for a slight bump in offensive reps in Thompson's absence.

Idle for Thursday's practice Thompson (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Thompson has missed each of the first two practices of Week 3 prep while tending to a quadriceps injury, and he'll have one more opportunity to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Bills. The rookie fourth-rounder has operated in a depth role through the first two games of the regular season, logging one catch (on three targets) for 13 yards in that span. Derius Davis and recent free agent signing Marquez Valdes-Scantling would see more involvement in the offense if Thompson is unable to play in Buffalo.

Back at practice Sunday Thompson (undisclosed) was on the field for Sunday's training camp practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thompson was sporting a non-contact jersey during Sunday's session, but it's a positive sign after he was held out of Saturday's practice due to an unspecified injury. The rookie fourth-rounder is battling for a rotational spot in the Chargers' offense, and he'll look to make his case for regular playing time in Thursday's preseason finale against the Rams. Thompson has caught three passes on eight targets for 39 yards through two preseason games, adding one punt return for 12 yards.

Absent from Saturday's practice Thompson (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact Thompson exited Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers early due to injury. He was taken to the blue medical tent and his night was promptly over. It remains unclear what type of injury Thompson is dealing with, but a quick exit and inability to practice are not good signs. If the 23-year-old must miss time, KeAndre Lambert-Smith could see significantly more attention in the rest of the preseason and start of the regular season.

Thompson played just nine snaps in the contest, totalling 15 percent of the Chargers' total offensive plays.
