Thompson was waived by the Vikings on Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson joined the Vikings in July after spending last season on the Panthers' practice squad. He'll now need to work to find another opportunity elsewhere.

Thompson signed a contract with the Vikings on Monday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomspon spent the last three seasons with the Panthers, playing 26 games between 2020 and 2021. He remained in Carolina during the 2022 campaign, but he was never elevated from the practice squad. He'll work to earn a depth role in Minnesota behind T.J. Hockenson, with his strongest contributions likely coming on special teams.

Thompson's (calf) contract with the Panthers' practice squad expired Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson spent the last three years with Carolina, primarily playing as a core special-teamer in 26 regular-season games during this span. The 29-year-old tight end was then waived with a calf injury at the end of this preseason before re-joining via the practice squad Aug. 31. Thompson then did not appear in a game during the 2022 campaign, and he'll look to record just his second NFL reception heading into the 2023 campaign.

Thompson (calf) was added to Carolina's practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas struggled to make a case for a roster spot while battling a calf injury for much of August. Once he heals up, it's possible the Temple product could push for a spot on the team later in the season given Carolina's lack of established talent at tight end.

The Panthers waived Thompson (calf) on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomson dealt with a calf injury for the majority of August and missed all three of the Panthers' regular season contests. The 6-foot-4 tight end has appeared in 26 contests for Carolina over the past two seasons, but he ended last year on the team's practice squad.

Thompson is dealing with an unspecified calf injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old finished the 2021 campaign on Carolina's practice squad after bringing in just one of his three targets for seven yards over 26 games during the past two seasons. The Panthers also signed tight end Nat Becker to a one-year deal Thursday, so any missed time this preseason could substantially affect Thompson's chances to make the team's final roster headed into the regular season.

Thompson signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was on Carolina's active roster until being waived in mid-December, and he spent the rest of the season on the practice squad. He appeared in 11 games and failed to catch his only target.

Thompson reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson saw seven snaps on offense and eight on special teams but didn't accumulate any stats. If Tommy Tremble (illness) needs to miss a second-straight game on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Notre Dame product may get another call in Week 18.

Thompson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson makes the jump with Tommy Tremble due to sit out because of COVID. The 28-year-old has appeared in 10 games for the Panthers this season but has drawn just one target all year.

Thompson signed with the Panthers' practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was waived by Carolina on Tuesday, but he'll return to the organization after he went unclaimed on waivers. The 28-year-old has appeared in 10 games this year but failed to haul in his lone target thus far.
