Josh Thompson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs with Atlanta Thompson signed with the Falcons on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The safety appears to be healthy again after getting waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement by the Falcons last September, though his injury remained undisclosed. Thompson last appeared in an NFL regular-season game in 2022 with the Titans, when he suited up for six games, played on 83 special-teams snaps and made four tackles (two solo).

Available for Week 18 Thompson (concussion) does not carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Thompson had missed both of Tennessee's previous two matchups as a result of a concussion, but after he logged three consecutive practices without limitations this week, the 24-year-old safety is in line to continue operating as a strict special-teams contributor this weekend versus Jacksonville.

Won't play Thursday Thompson (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Thompson is now in line to miss his second straight contest due to a concussion. The 24-year-old has strictly served as a special-teams contributor thus far in 2022, so his absence shouldn't alter Tennessee's defensive game plan to a large extent.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Week 16 Titans coach Mike Vrabel ruled Thompson (concussion) out for Saturday's game against the Texans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thompson sustained a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Chargers, and it appears he was not able to clear protocols coming off this slightly shorter week of practice. The 24-year-old has exclusively played on special teams over five games this season.

Sustains concussion Week 15 Thompson was forced out with a concussion during Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chargers, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thompson did not log a statistic before sustaining this injury, and he'll now need to clear the league's protocol before suiting up again. The 24-year-old exclusively played on special teams over four games heading into Sunday, so his potential absence doesn't figure to affect Tennessee's defense during the team's Week 16 matchup against Houston on Saturday.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins active roster Thompson (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Thompson has only appeared in three games this season, and none since going on IR after Week 9's game with the Chiefs. He'll provide depth at safety and work on special teams for the Titans, beginning Sunday against the Jaguars.

DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Designated to return Thompson (knee) was designated to return off injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Thompson can return to practice after being out since Week 9 and will now have a 21-day window to be activated. While the 24-year-old has not played a single defensive snap through three games this year, he has been a solid contributor on special teams and could be valuable depth in the Titans' pursuit of a playoff run.

DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes to IR with knee injury Tennessee placed Thompson (knee) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After he was ruled out for Week 10 on Friday, Thompson will ultimately land on injured reserve and be forced to miss at least the Titans' next four games. The safety hasn't played a defensive snap through three games in 2022.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 10 Thompson won't play in Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a knee injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The 24-year-old hasn't played any defensive snaps yet in 2022, so his absence likely won't alter Tennessee's defensive game plan in Week 10.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Tennessee The Titans signed Thompson to their active roster from Jacksonville's practice squad Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Thompson has yet to make his regular season NFL debut, but he has the speed (4.40-second 40) to at least make a splash as a special teams gunner. It could still be a while before the youngster sees the field on defense, though.
