Won't play against 49ers
Thompson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Thompson never seemed to have any shot at playing and didn't practice in any capacity throughout the week. Wendell Smallwood figures to step in as the top backfield option for passing downs, though Washington could also promote Craig Reynolds from the practice squad before Sunday.

Unable to practice all week
Thompson (toe) isn't practicing Friday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Absent from practice throughout the week, Thompson isn't looking good for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Wendell Smallwood is the favorite to share snaps with Adrian Peterson, but there's also been some rumbling about Craig Reynolds coming up from the practice squad and getting a bit of work.

Out for another practice
Thompson (toe) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: With Thompson sidelined for the second practice in a row, the Redskins turned to Wendell Smallwood and practice squad running back Craig Reynolds to fill first-team reps on passing plays, per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic. Interim coach Bill Callahan's decision to hand reps to Reynolds suggests the Redskins will likely add him to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, a transaction that would signal Thompson is on track to be inactive for that contest.

No practice Wednesday
Thompson (toe) isn't practicing Wednesday, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Thompson came out of Sunday's win over the Dolphins with a mild case of turf toe, leaving his availability for the Week 7 matchup with San Francisco uncertain. In the event that Thompson is forced to miss time, expect Wendell Smallwood to serve as the top backup behind No. 1 back Adrian Peterson.

Battling turf toe
Thompson has a "mild case" of turf toe and his status for Sunday's game against the 49ers is uncertain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thompson had an MRI on his foot Monday, and the results are unfavorable. Turf toe can be a tricky injury, and the Redskins appear to be preparing accordingly by working out running back Josh Ferguson on Tuesday. We'll know more about Thompson's chances of playing Sunday when the initial practice report is released Wednesday. Wendell Smallwood will work as the No. 2 back behind Adrian Peterson if Thompson can't go.

Waiting for test results
Thompson said his injured foot feels better Monday, but he's still waiting on his MRI results, Craig Hoffman of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.
Analysis: Thompson was removed from Sunday's 17-16 win over Miami in the second half, finishing with three carries for 12 yards and two catches for eight yards. His absence left Wendell Smallwood to handle passing downs while Adrian Peterson continued to take most of the carries.

Picks up foot injury
Thompson suffered a foot injury during Sunday's game at Miami.
Analysis: Deemed questionable to return, Thompson will finish the day with three carries for 12 yards and two receptions (on three targets) for eight yards if he's unable to do so. Without Thompson, Adrian Peterson and Wendell Smallwood are the only two running backs available to the Redskins offense.

Tacks on five catches in loss
Thompson rushed four times for 21 yards and caught five of seven targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 33-7 loss to New England.
Analysis: Thompson continues to be heavily involved as a receiver out of the backfield with Washington frequently playing from behind. He has 25 catches through five games, including at least four in every game. The Redskins might actually have the lead for most of the contest Week 6 when they take on a fellow winless team in Miami, but Thompson should be deployed as usual given his role as one of the team's top playmakers.

Leads team in receiving yards
Thompson carried four times for four yards and caught four of five targets for 56 additional yards during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Thompson led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, though all the pass-catchers struggled to produce with Dwayne Haskins taking over under center. He didn't make much of an impact in the ground game, but he figures to remain involved as a valuable receiving option regardless of who is under center. With his team expected to trail early in next Sunday's home matchup against the Patriots, Thompson could be quite busy.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards in loss
Thompson rushed seven times for 29 yards and caught four of five targets for 79 yards in Monday night's 31-15 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Thompson's performance was highlighted by a 33-yard catch-and-run toward the end of the third quarter. That play helped him top 100 yards from scrimmage on the evening, which also saw him post season highs in rushing and receiving yards. Although Adrian Peterson led the team with 12 carries, Thompson was more efficient, averaging 4.1 YPC compared to Peterson's 3.1, and remains a far superior pass-catching tailback, as he showed again Monday.

Catches five passes versus Dallas
Thompson carried two times for three yards and caught five of eight targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Although Adrian Peterson got the bulk of the early work, Thompson became a factor later in the game as the Redskins all but abandoned the run. He tied for the team lead in catches while finishing second in targets and receiving yardage. Thompson now has 12 catches for 116 yards receiving through two games, and although he's unlikely to be much of a factor as a runner, his skillset should be utilized often with his team expected to trail for much of the season.

Part of amended backfield
Thompson has a new backfield mate (Adrian Peterson) after Derrius Guice underwent surgery on a torn meniscus, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Guice came out of Sunday's loss at Philadelphia with yet another knee injury that will force a lengthy absence. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Guice is "out indefinitely," which elevates Peterson to a familiar role. Behind Peterson, Thompson will serve his typical pass-catching role out of the backfield. In Week 1, it translated to seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 68 yards in addition to a trio of carries for 10 yards.

Piles up 78 scrimmage yards
Thompson carried three times for 10 yards and caught seven of 10 targets for an additional 68 yards during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Thompson wasn't involved much in the early going, but as the Eagles pulled ahead he became a large part of the attack and finished with the team lead in targets. It was more of the same from Thompson, who has managed to make a significant impact as a pass catcher throughout his career, when healthy. Washington is expected to trail often this season, including next Sunday's home matchup against the Cowboys, so he could be utilized quite often for as long as he's available.

Gets only one carry
Thompson carried the ball once for minus-one yard in the Redskins' second preseason game against the Bengals on Thursday.
Analysis: Thompson received his only carry of the contest on the team's third offensive drive, though he was tackled for a loss. More important than than preseason production has been Thompson's health, as he does not appear hampered by previous rib and ankle injuries. Though the team added to its running back depth this offseason, Thompson should be in line for plenty of targets out of the Washington backfield this season so long as he can avoid injuries.

Looking good in minicamp
Thompson doesn't appear to be hampered by his prior rib or ankle injuries during minicamp, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thompson said in May that he's still experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired leg, but he's reportedly looked "agile" as a receiver out of the backfield and in the slot during OTAs this spring. Meanwhile, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington relays that Thompson remains locked in as the third-down back for a team that wants to reserve early down work for Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice (knee). It might be a slight surprise if Thompson approaches the 33.4 percent share of backfield snaps…read more

Still dealing with soreness
Thompson feels the best he has in a long time, but he also admits there's still some on-and-off soreness in his surgically-repaired leg/ankle, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thompson had surgery in December 2017 to repair a fractured fibula and other damage, with doctors inserting a plate to stabilize the area. He made it back for Week 1 last season and played through some pain, though it was a rib injury that ended up costing him six games. Thompson said the rib is no longer an issue, and while the leg/ankle is doing better, it sounds like something that may require maintenance for the rest of his career. There's also the possibility that a portion of his usual…read more

Put on notice with draft pick
Bryce Love (knee) may eventually replace Thompson as Washington's passing-down back, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: At his best, Thompson is one of the better blocking and receiving backs in the NFL, but he's entering the final year of his contract after missing 12 games the past two seasons. He was already stuck in a crowded backfield with Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice (knee) before the Redskins used a fourth-round pick on Love, who may be headed for a 2019 redshirt after suffering a torn ACL in December. The Stanford product had first-round buzz after finishing as runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in…read more

Glad Peterson is staying with team
Thompson is pleased with his team's decision to re-sign fellow running back Adrian Peterson, Zach Brook of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Peterson figures to impact Derrius Guice (knee) more so than Thompson, considering the latter gets most of his playing time on passing downs. Of course, it's still another body that demands snaps in the backfield, and the Washington offense probably won't have a ton of yards and touchdowns to go around. The team did at least get some security under center with the trade for Case Keenum, whose shortcomings as a passer likely will impact the wide receivers rather than the running backs or tight…read more

Struggles in bad offense
Thompson played 10 games in 2018, compiling 43 carries for 178 yards (4.1 average) along with 41 catches for 268 yards (6.5 average) and a touchdown on 55 targets.
Analysis: Thompson had two fewer catches and 21 more carries in the same number of appearances (10) during his breakout 2017 campaign, producing 4.6 yards per carry and 13.1 per reception with six total touchdowns before he broke his leg Week 11. Coming back from the severe injury and stuck in a lousy Washington offense, the 28-year-old scatback took a massive step backward in 2018, losing five touchdowns and 50 percent of his YPR mark from the previous season. While the 2017 breakout was largely built…read more

Accrues 28 scrimmage yards
Thompson tallied four rushes for 20 yards and one catch (on one target) for eight yards in Saturday's 25-16 loss at Tennessee.
Analysis: Since ending a four-game absence and logging 64 percent of the offensive snaps Week 13, Thompson has settled into a workload in the 36-43 percent range over the last three contests. During those outings, he's combined for 79 yards from scrimmage and no TDs on 17 touches, which is well behind Adrian Peterson's 217 scrimmage yards and no scores on 59 touches in the same span. Thompson clearly is behind Peterson in terms of usage and therefore doesn't hold much sway in the Redskins' 28th-ranked…read more

Quiet in Week 15 win
Thompson (illness) rushed five times for nine yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Thompson wasn't a major part of the game plan as neither offense found much success. He's likely to cede the majority of rushing work to Adrian Peterson against the Titans in Week 16 if things stay close, but he's more capable of making an impact as a receiver out of the backfield if the Redskins find themselves in a hole.

Available Sunday
Thompson (illness) is active for Sunday's game in Jacksonville.
Analysis: Thompson fell ill late in the week but recovered enough to be active for the third game in a row. In the previous two weeks, his workload was capped en route to six carries for 26 yards and six receptions (on 10 targets) for 33 yards. It's difficult to project much more production behind No. 1 back Adrian Peterson.

Expected to play
Thompson (illness) , who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, is expected to play, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While fantasy owners would be wise to check Thompson's status prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. EST kickoff, it appears as if the veteran running back has made enough progress in his recovery from the illness to suit up. Thompson has just 59 total yards in the two games since returning from a rib injury that kept him out of four contests.

Questionable due to illness
Thompson missed Friday's practice with an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: With two full days to recover, Thompson should still have a good chance to suit up as his team tries to stay in the playoff hunt. He's been quiet since returning from a lengthy absence due to a rib injury, but the Redskins may have a larger role in mind with Jordan Reed (toe) out of the lineup and Josh Johnson starting at quarterback. Sunday's kickoff is scheduled for 1 PM ET.

Struggles again
Thompson caught three of five targets for 15 yards and took three carries for 23 yards in Sunday's 40-16 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Thompson's snap share dropped to 40 percent after he checked in at 64 percent the previous week in his first game back from a four-week absence. The downturn was likely just a product of game script, with Byron Marshall getting most of the backfield snaps in the late stages of a blowout loss. Given the injury issues at quarterback and along the offensive line, it's tough to have confidence in any piece of the Washington offense for Week 15 in Jacksonville. The team will continue to lean on…read more

Gains 21 yards in return
Thompson ran for three yards on three carries and added 18 yards on three catches during Monday's 28-13 loss to the Eagles. He fumbled during the contest, but the offense maintained possession.
Analysis: It probably wasn't the return from injury Thompson was hoping for. He saw his second-string quarterback go down early, but the injury problems at quarterback might actually play to Thompson's advantage. Head coach Jay Gruden, after the game, stated that the playbook was limited for now-starter Mark Sanchez as he just recently arrived to Washington. Thompson, who caught a whopping 19 passes in his first two games of 2018, might be the perfect security blanket for a new passer. Look for him to…read more

Thompson (ribs) logged another full practice Friday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Thompson is ready to return from a four-game absence Monday against the Eagles, though there's always some chance of an in-game setback while he contends with a painful rib injury. He could take a few snaps away from Adrian Peterson (shoulder), but the real loser will be fellow passing-down specialist Kapri Bibbs, who may find his roster spot in danger at some point in the near future.

Analysis: Thompson reportedly looked sharp during individual drills at Monday's practice, taking a big step forward after he failed to participate in any fashion the past four weeks. He seems to be on track for at least a limited practice Thursday when the Redskins release their initial Week 13 injury report.

Thompson (ribs) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports. The running back was instead limited to working out on a side field under the watch of trainers, according to John Keim of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Thompson was always in an uphill battle to gain an active status on a short week, and his absence from practice Tuesday supports the notion the running back will more than likely be sidelined Thanksgiving Day in Dallas for the sixth time in seven games. A final call on Thompson's gameday status will be made following Wednesday's practice session, but the expectation is that Kapri Bibbs and Byron Marshall will shoulder most of the scatback's duties on passing downs.

Analysis: Limited to side work with the training staff this week, Thompson is still in too much pain to play in a game. Kapri Bibbs will continue to fill in for Thompson on passing downs, with Byron Marshall (knee) likely to return from injured reserve to replace an injured Samaje Perine (hip) in the No. 3 role out of the backfield.

Trending toward another absence
Coach Jay Gruden said Thompson (ribs) is unlikely to suit up for Sunday's game against the Texans, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. "I can't do anything outside of being uncomfortable standing for too long, sitting for too long," Thompson told Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post. "I've just got to focus on trying to get better and being patient, because sometimes with ribs it can happen quick or it can be a slow process."
Analysis: Thompson has been available just one time in the Redskins' last five contests, the result of a pair of rib injuries. He hasn't set himself up well this week with no reps at Wednesday's practice, but two sessions remain for the running back to change the tone about his potential to play.

Still limited by pain
Thompson (ribs) is still dealing with considerable pain and isn't sure when he will be ready to play, but he did say his injury is improving, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports. "I can't do anything outside of being uncomfortable standing for too long, sitting for too long," Thompson said. "I've just got to focus on trying to get better and being patient, because sometimes with ribs it can happen quick or it can be a slow process."
Analysis: Thompson has missed four of the past five games due to two separate rib injuries, unable to practice in any capacity the past two weeks. It sounds like he could make it back to limited participation in the coming days, potentially setting up a game-time decision Sunday against the Texans. Kapri Bibbs will continue to handle passing downs out of the Redskins backfield if Thompson ultimately ends up missing another week.

Won't play Sunday
Thompson (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Thompson was unable to participate in the first two practices during Week 10 prep, so the Redskins opted for a proactive approach and will give the pass-catching back more time to recover from an injury to his rib cage. In Thompson's stead, expect Kapri Bibbs to handle the change-of-pace role behind Adrian Peterson, though deep reserve Samaje Perine may also be utilized out of the backfield. Thompson's next chance to attempt to return will be Sunday, Nov. 18 versus the Texans.

Analysis: Thompson returned from a two-game absence Oct. 28 against the Giants, but he suffered a new rib injury in the process and didn't practice at all last week. Now dealing with pain on both sides of his rib cage, the veteran pass-catching back is looking shaky for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.

Looking unlikely to play Week 9
Thompson (ribs) isn't practicing Friday and doesn't seem likely to be available for Sunday's game against Atlanta, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
