Thompson (thumb) was listed as a limited participant on the Dolphins' practice report Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

While making his first NFL start, Thompson sustained a right thumb injury during the first half of Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Though the extent of the injury is still unclear, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that tests on Thompson's thumb were "more positive than negative," and that the quarterback will return "sooner rather than later," according to Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald. The third-string signal-caller will have two more practices to increase his activity in practice before this Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, though his potential absence shouldn't have much of an affect now that Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) and Teddy Bridgewater are both expected to be available Week 7. If that's the case, Thompson could find himself on the inactive list Sunday against the Steelers even if he enters the weekend without a designation.
