Thompson (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
With Matt Jones (hip) out of commission, Thompson will vie with Alfred Morris and Pierre Thomas (knee) for touches out of the backfield in the season finale. Thompson has been more serviceable as a receiver than a runner this season, but Morris may only make a cameo, meaning Thompson could be handed a sprinkling off carries as well.

Thompson (shoulder) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Exclusively used as a passing-down back this season, Thompson could see an expanded role in Week 17, as Washington doesn't have anything to play for and probably won't have Matt Jones (doubtful-hip) available. Furthermore, Pierre Thomas (knee) is listed as questionable, leaving Thompson and Alfred Morris as the team's healthiest running backs.

Thompson is active for Saturday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
With Matt Jones being rule out Saturday, Thompson figures to be the secondary option in the backfield behind Alfred Morris. He has yet to exceed six carries in a game this season, although he has caught six or more balls on three occasions, so there is some minor appeal in PPR leagues.

Thompson (shoulder) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has missed the last two games, but he told reporters that he feels confident heading into the division matchup with the Eagles, noting that the shoulder ailment should no longer be an issue. "I'm ready to get back out there," Thompson said. "It's been a tough few weeks for me, and just being out on the field is my way of getting away from life. [Tuesday], I was pretty emotional as you could tell on the sideline."

Thompson (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has missed back-to-back games due to a torn labrum in his shoulder, but there's no better way to state one's intention of returning with a full practice session. With Matt Jones (hip) ailing at the moment, Thompson could play a decent role out of the backfield Saturday in Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis
In Thompson's second straight absence due to a torn labrum, Washington will rely upon the duo of Alfred Morris and Matt Jones out of the backfield in Week 15.

Thompson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, ESPN's John Keim reports.
EDGE Analysis
Limited at practice throughout the week, Thompson could come down to a game-time decision for Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff. His return would be bad news for Matt Jones owners, as the rookie handled most of the passing-down work in a Week 14 win over the Bears.

Thompson (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
The appearance at individual drills marked Thompson's first since sustaining a torn labrum in Week 14. According to head coach Jay Gruden, Thompson has been "doing more and more in practice," signaling that he's attempting to suit up again this season. With that goal in mind, Thompson will use Thursday and Friday to show what he can handle at this point in his recovery.

Thompson (shoulder) is listed as day-to-day, the Washington Post reports. Thompson did not play last week and the team has signed Pierre Thomas.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas filled in for Thompson last week. The signing is an indication the team believes Thompson will be less than 100% for the rest of the season.
