Thompson rushed twice for 54 yards and caught one pass for 23 yards during Sunday's win against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

The Skins running backs combined for 202 rushing yards and 168 receiving yards against the helpless Saints. Thompson continues to be a change of pass back and remains third on the pecking order.

Thompson (back) did not record a carry in Sunday's loss to the Patriots but did catch two passes for 21 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has always been used more heavily in the passing game. His role is more situational and he is still behind Alfred Morris and Matt Jones on the depth chart.

Thompson (back) is active for Sunday's contest in New England.

EDGE Analysis

In his first appearance since Week 6, Thompson's pass-catching chops should reap rewards for an offense that may have to ditch the run at some point in order to preserve clock. After notching just two total targets in the first two games of the season, he hauled in 22 of 31 balls over his next four outings.

Thompson (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game in New England.

EDGE Analysis

Expected to return from a one game-absence, Thompson took advantage of a bye week to get healthy. With the Redskins likely be playing from behind in New England, the matchup sets up better for Thompson than it does for Matt Jones or Alfred Morris.

Thompson (back) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson missed Washington's last game before their Week 8 bye due to a disk injury in his neck, but an unhinged showing in drills to commence this week is a telling sign for his availability Sunday at New England, where his pass-catching prowess could pay off against a Patriots defense that has surrendered 41 receptions in seven games to running backs this season.

Thompson (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was unable to practice all week due to a disk injury in his neck, which has produced accompanying symptoms like swelling in his back. Washington will likely take a wait-and-see approach with his recovery, but Matt Jones (toe) is poised to augment his split of carries with Fred Jackson with Thompson's role as third-down back.

Thompson (neck) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Mike Jones of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matt Jones will likely take on the passing-down role that Thompson has filled so capably this season. The Redskins may also promote either Trey Williams or Mack Brown from the practice squad before Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Thompson suffered a disc injury in his neck, which has led to swelling in his back.

Thompson (neck) didn't practice Thursday, after which head coach Jay Gruden relayed that the running back is dealing with "significant swelling" in his back, Chris Russell of 106.7 The Fan DC reports.

EDGE Analysis

The disk injury in Thompson's neck is threatening his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If the ailment doesn't improve by Friday, Gruden said that Washington will consider promoting either Trey Williams or Mack Brown from the practice squad in order to bolster the backfield. Either way, the situation will likely be resolved in advance of the weekend.

Thompson didn't participate in practice Wednesday. Afterward, head coach Jay Gruden clarified Thompson's ailment, stating that the running back suffered a disk injury in his neck Sunday at the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

In the aftermath of Sunday's game, Thompson's injury was reported as a back sprain, but Washington's medical staff has seemingly honed in on the true nature of the concern in the meantime. Because he was able to gut out the injury with fellow back Matt Jones (toe) out of commission, Thompson could fulfill his pass-catching role again Sunday versus the Buccaneers. However, active status would likely be contingent upon Thompson fitting in some practice reps before week's end.

Thompson (back) is day-to-day, according to coach Jay Gruden.

EDGE Analysis

With fellow RB Matt Jones dealing with a toe injury, Washington may need to add some backfield depth in the coming days, should Thompson's back issue turn into something that might keep him out of Sunday's game against the Bucs.
