• Ravens' Skylar Thompson: Slated to sign with Ravens

  05/04/2026 • By RotoWire

  Thompson (hamstring) is in line to sign with Baltimore, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Thompson spent the entire 2025 campaign on Pittsburgh's injured reserve list due to a hamstring injury but appears to have now returned to full health. He previously logged 10 total regular-season appearances (three starts) with the Dolphins from 2022-24. With the Ravens, he faces an opportunity to compete with Joe Fagnano and Diego Pavia, a pair of undrafted rookies, for the No. 3 quarterback role behind Tyler Huntley and Lamar Jackson.

• Steelers' Skylar Thompson: Misses 2025 season with injury

  02/12/2026 • By RotoWire

  Thompson was unable to take the field during the 2025 season due to a hamstring injury. The 2022 seventh-round pick from Kansas State was placed on Pittsburgh's injured reserve list in early September due to a hamstring issue and didn't return this season. After signing a reserve/future contract with the Steelers last January, Thompson is set to enter unrestricted free agency. He could draw interest from teams seeking quarterback depth ahead of the 2026 campaign.

• Steelers' Skylar Thompson: Headed to IR

  09/10/2025 • By RotoWire

  Thompson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Thompson popped up on the Steelers' injury report with a hamstring injury prior to their Week 1 win over the Jets, and the issue now appears serious enough for him to land on IR. Pittsburgh's emergency third quarterback will now miss at least four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 7 against the Bengals. With rookie Will Howard (hand) also on IR, the Steelers' quarterback room now consists of just Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.

• Steelers' Skylar Thompson: Inactive, serving as emergency QB

  09/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Thompson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 clash against the Seahawks but is listed as Pittsburgh's emergency third quarterback, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Thompson landed on the injury report Friday due to a hamstring issue, but he's at least healthy enough to be available should both Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph exit with an injury, illness or ejection. Thompson is third in Pittsburgh's QB pecking order, so he'd likely have been inactive as the emergency third quarterback even had the hamstring issue not popped up. His participation (or lack thereof) in practice next week should provide insight about his progression from the injury.

  09/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Thompson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Thompson popped up on Friday's injury report with a hamstring injury that limited his practice participation Friday. Even if he gains clearance to play, Thompson isn't expected to be anything more than the emergency third quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.
