Four tackles in TNF loss Thompson recorded four tackles (zero solo) in Buffalo's loss to Houston on Thursday night.
Impact Making his return from a hamstring injury suffered in Week 8, Thompson played 58 percent of the defensive snaps and saw another 11 snaps on special teams. With Terrel Bernard (elbow) looking at an extended absence, Thompson could be a candidate for increased action on defense. The veteran linebacker has recorded 32 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass breakups across seven games this season.

Full practice at walkthrough Thompson (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Impact The Bills held a walkthrough Monday after beating the Bucs on Sunday, and the team is now on a short week ahead of Thursday night's date with the Texans. The 31-year-old veteran linebacker has been sidelined since Week 8.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Week 11 Thompson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Impact The veteran linebacker was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday. However, he has not progressed enough in his recovery from a hamstring injury to be cleared to return from a three-game absence. Thompson's next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Texans.
NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Could play Sunday Thompson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Impact Thompson fully participated in practice in both the Thursday and Friday sessions, a positive sign for the weakside linebacker's chances to suit up for Sunday's game. Prior to injuring his hamstring the veteran played in five games for the Bills where he logged 27 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and defensed two passes. If available for Sunday, Thompson will likely share rotational linebacker duties with other Bills defenders such as Matt Milano and Dorian Williams (groin).
NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Practices in full Thompson (hamstring) returned to full practice participation Thursday.
Impact Thompson upgraded to full participation Thursday after being limited by a hamstring injury Wednesday, putting him on track to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers. Thompson missed each of the Bills' last two games due to the hamstring injury, and he looks set to get back to playing a significant role in the Bills' linebacker corps.
NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Limited Wednesday Thompson (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Thompson has missed two consecutive games with his hamstring injury, but getting in a limited practice Wednesday would suggest he has a chance to return this week versus Tampa Bay. Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano are healthy and soaked up the vast majority of the snaps at linebacker Week 10 against Miami.
NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Week 10 Thompson (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Dolphins, head coach Sean McDermott revealed Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Thompson will miss a second consecutive game Sunday. His next chance to take the field will come in Week 11 against the Buccaneers.

Bills aim to extend winning streak against Dolphins in Sunday's AFC East matchup

The Buffalo Bills have been about as dominant against the Miami Dolphins as any team against an opponent in recent years
NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • Associated Press
Misses Wednesday's practice Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Thompson (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Thompson was held out of the Bills' Week 9 win over the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll remain sidelined at Wednesday's practice. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Week 10 contest against the Dolphins. If Thompson returns Sunday, he's expected to operate as the Bills' top reserve inside linebacker.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • BUFFALOBILLS.COM
Ruled out for Week 9 Thompson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Thompson played 89 percent of the defensive snaps last week against the Panthers and has started each of the past two games for the Bills. With Thompson out against Kansas City, Matt Milano should step back into the starting lineup now that he's past his pectoral injury.
OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Downgrades to DNP on Thursday Thompson (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact Thompson's trending in the wrong direction, as he was a limited participant Wednesday. If Thompson's unable to practice Friday, he would be unlikely to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

Bills prepare to host Chiefs in rematch of last season's AFC championship game won by Kansas City

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • Associated Press
Nursing hamstring injury Thompson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
Impact Thompson likely picked up the injury during the Bills Week 8 blowout win over the Panthers, when he logged four tackles (three solo) while playing 54 defensive snaps. His ability to practice in a limited capacity indicates that the injury isn't considered a long-term issue, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 9 against the Chiefs.
