Thompson (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Despite practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday due to a neck injury, Thompson will suit up for Saturday's playoff contest. The 31-year-old delivered a huge performance in the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars, recording eight total tackles and an interception. Now fully healthy, Thompson is expected to remain one of Buffalo's top linebackers during the divisional round.

Thompson (neck) was limited in practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old appears to still be recovering from a neck injury he suffered in Week 16 against the Browns. Other than resting in Week 18, the injury hasn't stopped Thompson from playing (averaged 43.5 snaps in Week 17 and the wild-card round). The 10-year veteran will likely need to log at least a limited practice again Thursday for a chance to play Saturday.

Thompson (neck) is active for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson played through a neck injury in Week 17 before resting Week 18, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play in Sunday's playoff game. The veteran linebacker finished the regular season with 56 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble over 12 games.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Thompson (neck) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars but is expected to play, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson previously played through his neck injury in Week 17 before staying on the sideline in Week 18 to rest up for the playoffs. With middle linebacker Terrel Bernard (calf) already ruled out to face Jacksonville, the presence of starters Matt Milano and Thompson will be especially crucial for Buffalo's defense.

Thompson (neck) is listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was limited in advance of Buffalo's loss to the Eagles in Week 17 due to his neck injury, but he was cleared to suit up for that game without being assigned an official injury designation. The veteran linebacker was then among starters who rested Week 18. Barring any setbacks in practice Thursday and/or Friday, Thompson can be expected to gain clearance for Sunday's wild-card round matchup on the road against Jacksonville.

Thompson tallied 56 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with two defensed passes and a forced fumble over 12 regular-season contests in 2025-26.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson missed four games due to injury and didn't play Week 18 against the Jets for rest purposes, but he still doubled the six contests he logged over the previous two seasons combined. The veteran linebacker had 10 tackles Week 6 against Atlanta and nine stops Week 13 versus Pittsburgh, but otherwise he finished with six or fewer tackles in his other 10 appearances. Thompson should remain a key part of Buffalo's defense in the postseason and will then become a free agent following the campaign.

Thompson (neck) has avoided an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was looking iffy for Sunday after being deemed a limited participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. However, he was able to log a full practice Friday and is set to suit up versus Philadelphia. Thompson played just 11 defensive snaps against Cleveland this past Sunday due to the neck issue and wasn't able to take the field in the second half, but it turns out the injury won't sideline him further.

Thompson (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson sustained a neck injury during the first quarter of the Bills' Week 16 win over the Browns, which prevented him from returning to the game. His ability to practice in a limited capacity -- albeit in a walkthrough -- indicates the veteran linebacker is day-to-day. Thompson would likely need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Thompson (neck) is considered day-to-day, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Browns after playing a total of 12 snaps on defense and special teams. However, it sounds like he avoided a serious injury.

Thompson (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson sustained the injury during the first quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Dorian Williams will likely step into a more prominent role in defense for as long as Thompson is out of the game.
