Thompson was let go Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson hung on to a depth roster spot for the past two seasons with the Bills, but with Tyler Matakevich being added in free agency and Andre Smith being signed as a late addition this week, Thompson's odds of making the team became quite a bit longer, and that hope ultimately got squashed Friday. He remains a possibility for the Bills' practice squad.

Thompson missed Tuesday's practice due to knee soreness, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is trying to cement a spot for the third straight season with the Bills, where he would serve as a depth linebacker and special teams guy if he makes it.

Thompson (ankle) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson hasn't suited up for regular-season action since Week 3 due to a lingering ankle issue, but he appears on track to retake the field Sunday versus Washington. The 25-year-old stands to contribute on special teams and provide depth at the linebacker position when cleared to play.

Thompson (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was upgraded this week to a game-time decision after not practicing for nearly a month. It seems as though the 25-year-old is knocking on the door for a return, but he wasn't deemed healthy enough for a Week 8 return. In his stead, look for Julian Stanford and Maurice Alexander to see the bulk of special teams reps while providing depth at linebacker.

Thompson (ankle) will be a game-time call for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

EDGE Analysis

After not practicing for nearly a month, Thompson got back onto the field in a limited capacity this week. The team will likely want to test how the 25-year-old's ankle responds during pregame warmups before deciding whether to deploy him. Thompson usually sticks to a special-teams role, but he could have an uptick in usage if Matt Milano (hamstring) sits out.

Thompson, who hasn't played since undergoing ankle surgery in late September, was limited during Wednesday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The special teams stud is inching his way back to action, perhaps even quicker than expected given the severity of the injury. However, given that Thompson is a depth player the Bills will likely make sure he's fit to make it through a full game healthy before making him active for game day.

Thompson (ankle) is officially Inactive for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson only practiced on a limited basis this week after having ankle surgery in late September. The linebacker is still looking for his first defensive snap of the season, so his absence likely will be only felt on special teams. Look for Julian Stanford and Maurice Alexander to be the primary beneficiaries for an increased snap count with both Thompson and Matt Milano (hamstring) sidelined.

Thompson (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Friday for the third straight day and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson makes a difference for the Bills on special teams, but he's still looking for his his first defensive snap of the season. He's simply a nice role player for Buffalo.

Thompson practiced on a limited basis Wednesday for the first time since having ankle surgery in late September, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson isn't a sure thing for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins, though the fact that he's apparently a fast healer -- to go with the team's Week 6 bye week -- has put the special teamer in a position to miss just a pair of games.

Thompson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will miss his second straight game after missing every practice this week. The Bills have a bye week next, so Thompson will look to rest up and be ready for Week 7's game versus the Dolphins.
