  • 49ers' James Thompson: Sidelined versus Arizona

    Thompson (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Arizona.

    Thompson suffered a high-ankle sprain in the 35-13 victory over the Dolphins in Week 2. While nothing has been made official, an injury of this nature likely means he will miss more time moving ahead. The rookie appeared in both of the 49ers' games to begin the 2026 campaign, amassing four total tackles (one solo).

  • 49ers' James Thompson: Likely to miss action moving forward

    Thompson suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 35-13 win over Miami, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

    Thompson sustained the injury in the second half of the victory, and he will now likely be forced to miss some time moving forward. In his absence, the 49ers will have to add another interior defensive lineman to their active roster.

    Thompson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against Miami, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Thompson was slow to get up before ultimately going to the locker room in the second half. His status for the rest of the game is now in the air, but his absence won't have a major impact on the team's defensive approach.
