Thompson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Matt Jones took on the passing-down work when Thompson missed a game earlier this season, but with Pierre Thomas recently added to the roster, it's unclear if Thompson's absence will have any impact on the rookie's role. Head coach Jay Gruden said it's too early to tell if Thompson will have a shot to return for Week 15.

Thompson (shoulder) was a non-participant in practice Thursday. "My level of optimism is not very high with him right now," head coach Jay Gruden said afterward.
EDGE Analysis
On Wednesday, it was revealed that Thompson has a tear in his shoulder, which has so far spurred back-to-back absences in practice. Gruden noted that Thompson has a chance to suit up Sunday at Washington, but the decision could come down to an appearance in some capacity at Friday's practice. If Thompson takes a seat, Alfred Morris and Matt Jones would experience an uptick in their respective snap counts.

An MRI revealed a tear in Thompson's shoulder, which held him out of Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has been a consistent, multi-purpose threat throughout the season, receiving at least two touches in 10 of his 11 appearances. His usage has been curtailed significantly since taking a seat in Week 7, as he totaled 42 touches in Washington's first six games, versus just 20 in the last five. He's expected to attempt to practice either Thursday or Friday, at which point the medical staff will make a determination on his Week 14 availability.

Thompson will have an MRI to evaluate a sprained shoulder.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys due to an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. He handled his usual workload as the passing down-back, but he may have aggravated his shoulder along the way. If Thompson were to miss Sunday's game against Chicago, rookie Matt Jones would likely get most of the passing-down work, which could in turn lead to a few more carries for Alfred Morris.

Thompson (shoulder) is active for Monday's contest against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was contained to individual drills all week due to an AC joint sprain, but the ailment won't stop him from taking the field in Week 13. However, he'll likely remain third in Washington's RB pecking order due to the presence of Alfred Morris and Matt Jones.

Thompson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was limited all week with the shoulder injury, but he did take the practice field each day, so he will have a chance to play Monday night. Thompson has not seen much action of late, tallying just 15 touches since the Redskins' Week 8 bye.

Thompson (shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice, Washington's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson emerged from Sunday's victory versus the Giants with an AC joint sprain, which could hinder his ability to practice all week. Fortunately, Washington takes the field Monday against the Cowboys, affording the running back an extra day to recover. If he's a part of the backfield mix, his reps will remain limited due to the capable combination of Alfred Morris and Matt Jones in front of Thompson.
