Thompson (toe) didn't practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson is considered day-to-day due to a lingering toe injury, per Ben Standig of The Athletic. The 29-year-old has missed Washington's last two contests, and his chances of suiting up Sunday against Buffalo will likely come down to what he's able to do during the week's final two practices. Wendell Smallwood would likely retain a role as the Redskins' primary change-of-pace option if Thompson sits out another game.

Interim coach Bill Callahan said Friday that he's hopeful Thompson (toe) will be ready to play in the Redskins' Week 9 game against the Bills, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was inactive for a second straight game in Thursday's 19-9 loss to the Vikings, with the quick turnaround for the Week 8 contest never making it likely that he would be able to suit up. With a few additional days of prep time ahead of the Nov. 3 game in Buffalo, Thompson should have a better chance at overcoming his bout with turf toe, but his availability for the contest will likely hinge on what he's able to do in practices next Wednesday through Friday. Once Thompson is cleared to play again, Wendell Smallwood will drop back to third on the depth chart at running back and will likely see most of his playing time on special teams.

Thompson (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest at Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson is logging a second absence in a row due to what was initially termed as a "mild" case of turf toe. With Adrian Peterson (ankle) questionable to suit up for this outing, the backfield is in some flux on a short week. Wendell Smallwood and Craig Reynolds are the other available running backs on the Redskins' 53-man roster.

Thompson (toe) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington has a light practice schedule this week due to the quick turnaround for Thursday's game with the Vikings, with Tuesday's session representing the most rigorous day of training. The fact that Thompson didn't make an appearance Tuesday suggests he's in line to miss a second straight game this week. Wendell Smallwood is expected to continue filling Thompson's usual role as Washington's top pass-catching back.

Thompson (toe) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Redskins didn't host an actual practice, but Thompson is trending toward a second straight absence. He could be in line for starter duties if he can shake the injury since Adrian Peterson (ankle) also was a DNP and will have an MRI on Monday. First, Thompson will need to get onto the practice field in some capacity.

Thompson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE 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 Washington's top backfield option for passing downs, though the team could also promote Craig Reynolds from the practice squad before Sunday.

Thompson (toe) isn't practicing Friday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE 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.

Thompson (toe) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE 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.

Thompson (toe) isn't practicing Wednesday, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.
