Thompson was signed to the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Thompson had a tryout with the Bears on Monday, and he apparently showcased himself well enough to nab a spot on the practice squad. Chicago is dealing with some issues at running back, with David Montgomery (knee) on injured reserve and Damien Williams (illness) caught up in the COVID-19 protocols. Khalil Herbert and Ryan Nall are currently the only available tailbacks on the active roster, so Thompson could receive a promotion if Williams is unable to rejoin the team soon.
