Thompson was waived by the Titans on Thursday, the team's official site reports. The 2012 5th-round pick recorded 11 catches and one touchdown over three seasons in Tennessee while playing mostly on special teams. The knee injury he suffered in 2014 was still troubling Thompson in camp, so the Titans chose to part ways. Even if Thompson latches on with another team, it won't be in much more than a special teams role.

Lingering knee issues have landed Thompson on IR, the Tennessean reports. With Thompson (who recorded two catches for 24 yards in three games this season) joining Craig Stevens on IR, the Titans bolstered their tight end depth behind Delanie Walker by signing Brett Brackett off Seattle's practice squad.

Thompson (knee) is expected to return to practice sometime this week, John Glennon of the Tennessean reports. Thompson hasn't been active in Tennessee's last five games. Even when healthy, the third-year tight end hasn't made much of an impact this season, having recorded only two catches (for four targets) for 24 yards this season.

Thompson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans. Thompson practiced on a limited fashion this week, but he's still not healthy enough to return after being out since Week 3.

Thompson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans, the Tennessean reports. Though he was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, Thompson -- who last suited up in Week 3 -- is expected to miss another game Sunday, which represents a hit to the Titans' Week 8 TE depth behind Delanie Walker.

Thompson (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, John Glennon of The Tennessean reports. This was the first participation in practice in two weeks for Thompson, so it's at least some progress for a player who hasn't seen game time since Week 3.

Thompson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Mike Glennon of the Tennessean reports. This was little more than a formality, as Thompson did not practice in any capacity during the week and was previously listed as doubtful. Craig Stevens (quad) is done for the year, leaving just Chase Coffman behind Delanie Walker at tight end for Tennessee, though the team could add Brett Brackett for depth.

Thompson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Washington, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports. With Thompson expected to sit, fellow TE Brett Brackett is a candidate to be promoted to the Titans' 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's contest.

Thompson (knee) did not practice Wednesday, according to John Glennon of the Tennessean. With Craig Stevens out for the season, Thompson's status gains some import for the Titans from a depth perspective, but as long Delanie Walker is healthy, Thompson is off the fantasy radar.

Thompson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Thompson was unable to practice Thursday and Friday and with the depth at tight end in Tennessee, there's no reason to force him to play Sunday.
