Mark Thompson: Let go by Las Vegas
The Raiders waived Thompson on Monday, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Thompson joined the Raiders via a reserve/future deal in early January, but his spot on the roster seems to have been eliminated due to the team's decision to draft Lynn Bowden as a running back in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The 25-year-old, who also previously spent time on Detroit's and Baltimore's practice squads, will now look for a shot with another team.

Mark Thompson: Hits practice squad injured list
The Ravens placed Thompson (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Wednesday.
The nature and severity of Thompson's injury remain undisclosed. The big-bodied running back could be relevant on special teams and in short-yardage situations if he's ever promoted to the active roster, but he'll need to first focus on returning to full health.

Mark Thompson: Joins Detroit's practice squad
Thompson signed a contract to join the Lions' practice squad, Justin Rogers of the Detroit News reports.
Thompson latched on with the Lions this spring but did not survive final roster cuts over the weekend. The big-bodied running back could become relevant as a short-yardage option if he ever makes his way onto an active roster, be it in Detroit or somewhere else.

Lions' Mark Thompson: Totals 55 yards in preseason finale
Thompson carried 11 times for 35 yards while catching two of three targets for 20 yards during Thursday's preseason game against the Browns.
Thompson led the way at running back but likely didn't do anything that will convince the Lions to keep four running backs on the active roster during the regular season. However, it's worth noting the Florida product was more efficient (4.7 yards per carry) over 17 rushing attempts during the first three preseason games. It's possible Thompson could be picked up by an RB-needy team during roster cutdowns, but he's probably more of a candidate for the practice squad.
