Thompson (ankle) could return to action in Week 6 against Washington, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Thompson has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 against Miami, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the defensive lineman has "a chance" to play in the team's Week 6 matchup against the Commanders on Monday Night Football. Thompson has registered four total tackles (one solo) over two games this season.
