Stellar in preseason opener Thompson completed 20 of 28 passes for 233 yards and three touchdowns while rushing once for three yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Impact The 2022 seventh-rounder seems like a long shot to make the Steelers' 53-man roster to begin the regular season behind Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph and Will Howard (hand), but Thompson made a strong impression during Saturday's preseason opener. The 28-year-old should continue to get increased reps while Howard is sidelined, but it seems most likely that Thompson is competing for a spot on Pittsburgh's practice squad or a roster spot elsewhere.

Inks deal with Pittsburgh The Steelers signed Thompson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Impact Selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Dolphins, Thompson spent the past three seasons with Miami as part of the team's backup situation behind Tua Tagovailoa. Thompson appeared in 10 regular-season contests in that time and even started Miami's wild-card playoff game against the Bills as a rookie. Thompson, however, looked overwhelmed when forced into action, completing 99 of 183 passes (54.1 percent) for 941 yards (5.14 yards per attempt), two touchdowns and five interceptions across those 11 contests, while absorbing 16 sacks. He'll compete for a backup gig in Pittsburgh this upcoming offseason.

Moves back to practice squad Miami reverted Thompson to its practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Tua Tagovailoa missed the Dolphins' Week 18 loss to the Jets due to a hip injury, and Thompson was consequently elevated from the practice squad to serve as the team's No. 2 quarterback. He didn't end up seeing any action, however, with Tyler Huntley playing all 70 of the team's offensive snaps behind center. Thompson finished the regular season having gotten on the field for three contests, completing 21 of 33 passes for 187 yards with no TDs or INTs while adding one rush for four yards.

Elevated for Week 18 The Dolphins elevated Thompson from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Impact With Tua Tagovailoa (hip) deemed doubtful for Sunday's matchup versus the Jets, Tyler Huntley will likely start at quarterback for Miami. As a result, Thompson is probably going to be needed to serve as the team's backup signal-caller. Thompson made a start in Tagovailoa's stead Week 3 versus Seattle, but he has logged just two offensive snaps without throwing a pass since then while Huntley has emerged as the Dolphins' preferred No. 2 QB.
