News

  • Return timetable still uncertain

    Coach Matt Rhule wasn't sure Monday if Thompson (foot) will be healthy enough to play in Week 8 against the Falcons, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thompson has already missed Carolina's last three games, and it appears he's far from a sure thing to end that absence in Atlanta. The Panthers will resume practicing Wednesday, at which point Thompson's participation, or lack thereof, should provide a clearer picture of his potential Week 8 availability.

    Analysis: Thompson missed Sunday's loss to the Eagles after suffering the foot injury Week 4, and he's not practicing to open this week. The veteran appears to be in danger of missing his second straight contest, though he could get back on track if he can return to practice within the next couple days.

  • Managing foot issue

    Thompson will undergo an MRI on Monday after suffering a foot injury during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: According to Person, Thompson could end up missing some time, though he may not need to head to injured reserve. The 27-year-old played 57 of 61 defensive snaps despite the injury Sunday and totaled five tackles (four solo).

  • Six tackles in Week 3 win

    Thompson racked up six tackles (five solo), a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in Thursday's 24-9 win over Houston.

    Analysis: Tackling opportunities were limited with the Panthers controlling possession for most of the game, but Thompson tied Donte Jackson for the team lead in the category. He also helped put pressure on rookie quarterback Davis Mills, though Thompson wasn't directly involved on any of the Panthers' four sacks. Thompson's one of the top performers on a defense that has been among the best in the league in the early going.

  • Just four stops

    Thompson finished with four tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Thompson also registered a quarterback hit, helping the Panthers shut down the usually dynamic Saints offense. The veteran will now strive for higher tackling volume as Carolina turns its attention toward Thursday's game in Houston.

  • Excellent to open season

    Thompson finished with 10 tackles (five solo), a sack and an interception in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Thompson stuffed the stat sheet, not only leading the Panthers in stops but also topping the team with three passes defended, including a second-quarter interception that he returned for 29 yards. That marked just the second pick of Thompson's career, and with a sack Sunday he already beat his total in the category from last year. Fresh off a personal-best 113 tackles in 2020, Thompson kept his momentum going with a superb season debut, boosting his stock as a centerpiece of Carolina's defense.

  • Cleared for full practice

    Thompson (undisclosed) was cleared to practice fully Sunday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thompson suffered an undisclosed injury last Thursday and had been limited in practice across the last week. While it's not clear what injury the 27-year-old dealt with, he'll now have a week to prepare for the preseason opener against the Colts on Aug. 15.

  • Still limited at practice

    Thompson (undisclosed) remained limited at Friday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Thompson left last Saturday's practice early with an undisclosed issue. Since returning, he's been working in limited fashion. It remains unclear what he is specifically dealing with, but it does not appear the veteran linebacker is in danger of missing significant time.

  • Present at Monday's practice

    Thompson (lower body) is practicing Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thompson left Saturday's practice early with an athletic trainer, so it's encouraging to see that he avoided any sort of serious injury. The veteran linebacker is looking to put together a third straight 100-tackle season.

  • Managing some tightness

    Thompson exited Saturday's practice early due to tightness in his lower body, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thompson left the field under his own power with an athletic trainer, and there doesn't appear to be much concern over the issue. The 27-year-old will have a couple weeks to get healthy before the preseason opener Aug. 15 at Indianapolis.

  • Adding weight this offseason

    Carolina defensive coordinator Phil Snow said Wednesday that Thompson has added about 10 pounds to his frame in the offseason, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Washington product had a solid season in 2020, racking up a career-high 114 tackles (64 solo) to go with two forced fumbles across 16 games. Thompson is hoping the extra weight will make him harder to block, while still keeping him agile enough to make plays from sideline to sideline.

  • Reworks contract

    Thompson restructured his contract with the Panthers on Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Panthers saved $6.1 million in salary-cap space by converting nearly $9 million of Thompson's base salary into a signing bonus. The 2015 first-round pick generated 114 tackles, five pass breakups and two forced fumbles during the 2020 season. He'll reprise his starting role at linebacker once again in 2021.

  • Posts 10 tackles

    Thompson finished with 10 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Thompson tied Tre Boston for Carolina's lead in stops, bringing his season total to 113 while playing all 16 games for the first time in his six-year career. The 26-year-old's consistent health enabled him to surpass last season's previous best in tackles, and Thompson also added five passes defended, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. As the Panthers' defensive leader following long-time superstar Luke Kuechly's retirement last offseason, Thompson figures to remain a key cog next…read more

  • Back at practice

    Thompson (undisclosed) is present at Friday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thompson's presence at team facilities Friday is essentially confirmation that he's come off the reserve/COVID-19 list, which puts him on track for Sunday's game against the Broncos. The Panthers are counting on Thompson to slot back into an every-down role at linebacker.

    Thompson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old will be unavailable until he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's unclear if Thompson tested positive for the virus or if he's a close contact of an infected individual.

  • Another seven stops

    Thompson finished with seven tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble in Sunday's 46-23 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Thompson's tally included two stops for a loss, but his best play came in separating opposing running back Ronald Jones from the ball on Tampa Bay's second offensive play. In recovering that fumble, the Panthers then marched down a shortened field for their first touchdown Sunday. Despite a poor showing by the defense overall, Thompson can take pride in his individual performance, which brought his season total to 79 tackles in 10 games.

  • Makes six stops

    Thompson finished with six tackles (three solo) and defended a pass in Thursday night's 25-17 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Thompson now sports 66 stops through eight games, putting him on pace for a career high in the category and his second straight 100-tackle season. Where Thompson can add some value, however, is in Carolina's pass rush, as he's yet to record a sack on the year.

  • Season high in stops

    Thompson finished with 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Saints.

    Thompson finished with five tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Thompson tied for third on his team in tackles, but no one topped his two stops for loss Sunday. Through four games, the veteran now boasts 31 total tackles, trailing only Jeremy Chinn for Carolina's lead, and Thompson has also registered two passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

  • Bounces back in win

    Thompson made 13 tackles (eight solo), defended two passes and recovered a fumble he forced in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Thompson rebounded from a quiet Week 2 in a big way, leading Carolina in stops while also forcing a crucial turnover during the second quarter. For good measure, he also broke up a couple passes, leading the Panthers to their first victory. Through three games, the veteran is now tied for tops on his team with 27 total tackles.

    Analysis: Thompson played all 61 of Carolina's defensive snaps yet failed to make a big impact on a day Tampa Bay averaged 5.5 yards per rush. Following 12 stops to open the season, Thompson will hope to bounce back from Sunday's dip in Week 3 versus the Chargers.

  • Hits double digits

    Thompson finished with 12 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Thompson's team-leading tally included 1.5 tackles for loss. The linebacker played every defensive snap, which should be a sign of things to come as he aims to replace the retired Luke Kuechly in the heart of Carolina's scheme. That role should be plenty conducive to fantasy success, as Thompson showed Sunday.

  • Primed for pivotal role

    Thompson (foot/shoulder) is expected to fill the void in Carolina's defense left by Luke Kuechly's retirement, Shawn Krest of the North State Journal reports.

    Analysis: Thompson may fill Kuechly's role as the leader of Carolina's defense, but he'll be hard-pressed to match the former All-Pro in terms of production. Still, the 26-year-old is coming off the best statistical campaign of his career, and he looks primed to match, if not exceed, the 984 defensive snaps he played in 2020. His participation in training camp has been unhindered by the shoulder surgery he required in December.

  • Undergoes shoulder procedure

    Thompson (foot/shoulder) had a cleanup procedure on his shoulder Thursday, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Thompson is already ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Saints, so his sights are now set on getting back to health in time for offseason training. A timetable for the starting linebacker's recovery remains undisclosed, but it appears as though his procedure was minor.

  • Ruled out for Week 17

    Coach Perry Fewell said Thursday that Thompson (foot) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Thompson has missed back-to-back practice sessions to begin the week, per Steve Reed of the Associated Press, so his lack of availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. In his stead, Jermaine Carter will likely play another expanded role on defense.

  • Not likely to play Week 17

    Thompson (foot) is unlikely to play Sunday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Although the Panthers didn't practice Wednesday, Thompson was estimated as a non-participant per Getzenberg. Jermaine Carter saw 64 snaps in Week 16 with the 25-year-old sidelined and could see similar playing time Sunday against the Saints.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Thompson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thompson was unable to practice this week due to the ankle issue and will miss his first game of the season. Jermaine Carter is expected to receive the start in his absence.

  • DNP on Thursday

    Thompson (ankle) was absent from Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: As we've seen in past weeks, Thompson's practice reps typically ramp up as the week progresses, so Thursday's absence shouldn't come as a surprise. That said, a limited designation would make owners far more comfortable. If the 25-year-old linebacker can't practice Friday, it's unlikely he'll be given the green light to face the Colts on Sunday. Jermaine Carter figures to take Thompson's spot if his ankle issues are too much to overcome.

  • DNP on Wednesday

    Thompson (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Thompson dealt with an ankle injury during October and November, but it's unclear if this is related. While battling that issue, though, Thompson often missed Wednesday's practice but was able to elevate to full participation by Friday, so there's no real concern about his status for Sunday's game against the Colts at this time. The fifth-year pro is having a career year with 109 tackles and three sacks.

    Thompson logged six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: That marks a four-game low for Thompson, who continues to add to his career-high tackle mark, which currently sits at 109. He also has three sacks on the year but none since Week 9.

  • Excellent outing following new deal

    Thompson recorded 10 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Thompson signed a four-year, $54.2 million contract extension with $28 million guaranteed Saturday, and the motor keeps on roaring with his fourth double-digit tackling performance of the season. The 2015 first-round pick has been excellent this year with 103 stops, three sacks and three pass breakups,

  • Signs massive extension

    Thompson signed a four-year, $54.2 million extension Saturday, including $28 million in guarantees, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: It's a massive extension but it's hard to argue the inside linebacker didn't deserve it, as he's easily surpassed his career high in tackles (80) despite playing two less games. The 25-year-old has emerged as one of the best linebackers in the NFL opposite another stalwart in Luke Kuechly, and the duo is expected to remain a formidable unit for some time.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Thompson (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

    Analysis: Thompson has dealt with a lingering ankle injury for multiple weeks, but he hasn't been forced to miss any time. He's set to draw his usual start in Carolina's linebacker corps against the Falcons on Sunday.

  • Limited on Wednesday

    Thompson (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: For the past few weeks, Thompson has been limited in practice but still has managed to play in every game. His status should be monitored over the coming days, but it appears as though Carolina is limiting Thompson's practice reps on purpose and still plans to have him available for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.

  • Records eight tackles

    Thompson made eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Redskins.

    Analysis: Thompson trailed only Eric Reid for Carolina's team lead in stops, but he was the victim of a bulldozing stiff-arm from opposing tailback Derrius Guice during a long fourth-quarter run. That moment made Thompson look bad, but he'll at least be pleased by posting his second-best tackling total since Week 5.

  • Clear of injury designation

    Thompson (ankle) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Redskins.

    Analysis: Thompson began the week not practicing but put in a full practice Friday to avoid the questionable tag. The 25-year-old should serve in his usual every-down role for the Panthers.

  • Limited Thursday

    Thompson (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Thompson didn't practice Wednesday, so Thursday's limited session is a step in the right direction. The starting linebacker is trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against Washington, and he'll have one more opportunity to up his participation in practice.

  • Can't practice Wednesday

    Thompson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thompson has battled a hamstring injury since early October, but it hasn't hindered his playing time, as the fourth-year pro has played all but one snap over the past five weeks. As long as he practices in some capacity by Friday, Thompson should be ready for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

  • Posts seven stops

    Thompson finished with seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Thompson trailed only Eric Reid for Carolina's team lead in tackles, and although his total Sunday was better than in weeks past, his production has still slowed over the second half of this season. In fact, after posting at least eight stops in each of the Panthers' first five games, Thompson has met that mark just once in six appearances since. That leaves him with 85 stops through 11 outings, dropping him to third on the team in tackles.

  • Good to go

    Thompson (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

    Analysis: Thompson doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's tilt against the Saints, putting him on track to draw his usual start at inside linebacker. The veteran has played at least 95 percent of snaps on defense in all 11 of Carolina's games this season, and there's no reason to think his workload will lessen Week 12.

  • Resurfaces on injury report

    Thompson (ankle) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Thompson battled an ankle injury in October, but he never missed a game and there haven't been any rumbles about injuries since. The skilled linebacker popped back up on the injury report after playing 64 of 65 defensive snaps during this past Sunday's loss to the Falcons. Given his ability to tough out injuries, there's no reason to think Thompson won't be ready for this Sunday's divisional clash against the Saints.

  • Big game Sunday

    Thompson finished with 11 tackles (10 solo) and a sack in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Thompson tied for Carolina's team lead in tackles, with his tally including three stops for loss. With another quarterback takedown, the linebacker now sports three sacks on the season, putting him one away from a new career high. With half of the schedule left to play, Thompson is destined for his best year yet, elevating his IDP value considerably.

  • Ready to rock

    Thompson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's tilt against the Titans, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thompson put in a limited practice session Thursday, but it doesn't appear as though his ankle issue will hold him back in any capacity Week 9. He's played at least 95 percent of snaps on defense in every game this season and looks set for similar usage versus Tennessee on Sunday.
