Leads Buffalo with 10 stops Thompson recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Bills' 24-14 loss to the Falcons on Monday.
Impact Thompson made his first start of the season in the absence of Matt Milano (pectoral), and the former led both teams in tackles while playing a season-high 63 defensive snaps. Thompson figures to play a prominent role in the Bills' defense for as long as Milano is on the shelf.

Tallies first sack of 2025 Thompson recorded five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during the Bills' 23-20 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Impact Thompson took down Drake Maye for a two-yard loss midway through the fourth quarter, which led to the Patriots punting the ball away on the next play. It was Thompson's first sack of the regular season and first since the 2022 campaign as a member of the Panthers. The 2015 first-rounder has accumulated 14 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.

Bills Notebook: Shaq Thompson makes a thunderous return to lineup vs. Dolphins Thompson finished with six tackles against Miami, which was third on the team.

Shaq Thompson with truck stick hit on Achane to end the play Buffalo Bills linebacker Shaq Thompson puts a huge hit on Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane after catch.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • NFL.COM
Back in action Thompson is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
Impact Thompson was inactive for Week 2 due to a combination of hand and hamstring injuries. He'll limit his absence to one game and will likely play primarily on special teams, though his role could expand a bit in the absence of Matt Milano (pectoral).
SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting out Week 2 Thompson (hamstring/hand) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Impact Thompson has been dealing with a hamstring issue since early August. He was cleared to play Week 1 against Baltimore, but he was used exclusively on special teams. Thompson also recently picked up a hand injury, and the pair of issues will sideline him for Week 2. The Bills have a short turnaround with a Thursday tilt against Miami next week, giving Thompson less time to heal up in order to get back on the field Week 3.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable due to hamstring, hand Thompson (hamstring/hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Impact Thompson is dealing with a hand injury in addition to his previously known hamstring injury, but he managed to practice in limited fashion Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. The backup linebacker was limited to special teams during Buffalo's Week 1 win over the Ravens.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Limited on Thursday Thompson (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Impact Thompson missed practice Wednesday and has dealt with the hamstring issue since the start of training camp. The veteran linebacker didn't see any action on defense in Week 1 but played 15 snaps on special teams in the win.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sits out again Wednesday Thompson (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact Thompson also missed practice last Wednesday but was ultimately cleared to suit up for Buffalo's win over the Ravens in Week 1. The veteran linebacker is likely simply having his workload similarly managed heading into Sunday's game against the Jets. It's notable, though, that Thompson played exclusively on special-teams Week 1. Even once fully healthy, the 31-year-old may not see enough work on defense with the Bills to be included on the fantasy radar in IDP formats.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
In line to play Week 1 Thompson (hamstring) is not listed on Buffalo's injury report Wednesday.
Impact Thompson hurt his hamstring early in training camp and didn't play in any preseason contests. However, his ability to practice Wednesday suggests he should be good to go for Sunday's Week 1 matchup versus Baltimore. Thompson is slated to work in a depth role at linebacker for the Bills this season.

Buffalo Bills release linebacker Baylon Spector following latest injury to 4th-year player

The Buffalo Bills released oft-injured linebacker Baylon Spector, two days after the fourth-year player was sidelined by a calf injury
AUGUST 6, 2025 • Associated Press
Dealing with hamstring injury Thompson will not participate in Sunday's training camp practice after injuring his hamstring during Friday's session, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Impact Thompson was sidelined for all but four games with the Panthers last season due to a torn Achillles, but he was cleared to participate in practices once training camp opened in July. The veteran linebacker is now working through a hamstring issue, and the Bills will likely manage the injury conservatively to avoid aggravation. Thompson is projected to serve in a depth role at linebacker, and his absence would open the door for Edefuan Ulofoshio and Joe Andreessen to work with the second-team defense. Even if fully healthy, it's unclear whether Thompson will participate in preseason games, starting with Saturday's opener against the Giants.

Back on the field Thompson (Achilles) is practicing for the Bills during training camp, Alex Brasky of Bills Digest reports.
Impact Thompson missed all but four games with the Panthers in 2024 due to a torn Achilles, but he still landed a one-year deal with the Bills in June and appears ready to go for the 2025 season. The linebacker also only played in two games in 2023 after breaking his fibula. Before that, though, he had recorded four consecutive seasons with 100 or more tackles, and he might be able to play a role in Buffalo if he can stay on the field.
