Thompson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was limited in practice all week due to a hamstring injury that prevented him from playing in the Cardinals' last two games. Budda Baker (concussion) has already been ruled out for Sunday's road tilt, so Kitan Crawford and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would serve as the Cardinals' two starting safeties if Thompson is also ruled out.

Thompson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Arizona's practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.

Thompson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Cardinals' week of practice due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. The Washington State product has appeared in all 13 of Arizona's games thus far, recording 81 total tackles, six passes defensed and one forced fumble. While he's out for Week 15, Kitan Crawford is expected to operate as one of Arizona's top safeties.

EDGE Analysis
Thompson did not participate in practice Thursday for the second straight day. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, as there was no clear sign of decreased snap count in Week 14. The 27-year-old will likely need to return Friday for a chance to play Sunday versus the Texans.

Thompson recorded four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 27-23 loss versus the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson recorded a season-low 53 defensive snaps in Week 7 as Green Bay took a methodical offensive approach, and his tackle total was predictably a bit depressed. Those counting on him for IDP production will hope he gets more chances in Week 9 at Dallas after the Cardinals' bye in Week 8.
