  • Falcons' Josh Thompson: Signs with Atlanta

    Thompson signed with the Falcons on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The safety appears to be healthy again after getting waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement by the Falcons last September, though his injury remained undisclosed. Thompson last appeared in an NFL regular-season game in 2022 with the Titans, when he suited up for six games, played on 83 special-teams snaps and made four tackles (two solo).

  • Josh Thompson: Waived with injury designation

    The Titans waived Thompson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, Nick Suss of the Tennessean reports.

    Thompson spent much of training camp on the active/non-football illness list, but it remains to be seen if his current issue is related to what held him out then. The 24-year-old contributed on special teams in six games with Tennessee last season.

  • Titans' Josh Thompson: Available for Week 18

    Thompson (concussion) does not carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Thompson had missed both of Tennessee's previous two matchups as a result of a concussion, but after he logged three consecutive practices without limitations this week, the 24-year-old safety is in line to continue operating as a strict special-teams contributor this weekend versus Jacksonville.

  • Titans' Josh Thompson: Won't play Thursday

    Thompson (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Thompson is now in line to miss his second straight contest due to a concussion. The 24-year-old has strictly served as a special-teams contributor thus far in 2022, so his absence shouldn't alter Tennessee's defensive game plan to a large extent.
