Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Still nursing ankle injury
Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Thompson was in the Cardinals' facility throughout the Week 11 bye rehabbing his ankle injury, Zach Gerhsman of the team's official site reports.
Thompson was inactive for Week 10 against the Jets due to an ankle injury he suffered in practice. Gannon called Thompson's injury "day-to-day," so even though the sixth-year safety wasn't able to practice Wednesday, there is a chance he could suit up against the Seahawks on Sunday. Thompson will have two more chances to participate in practice this week.

Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Picks off four passes this season
Thompson notched 78 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, four interceptions among nine pass defenses and a forced fumble in 15 regular-season contests in 2023.
After surpassing 100 tackles in both of the previous two campaigns, Thompson fell well short of that mark while missing his first games (Weeks 6 and 7) since December 2020. Not only did dealing with four separate injuries impact his overall output, he may have been a culprit of the new coaching staff's change from a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme. On a positive note, Thompson posted his first career sack and set a career high in interceptions. In 2024, he'll be playing on the second season of the three-year extension he signed with the Cardinals back in September 2022.

Thompson tallied seven-plus tackles for the third game in a row and the fifth time this season in Week 13. He's actually had a down year so far compared to his past two seasons, but he'll still be on the fringe of the IDP radar after Arizona's bye in Week 14 thanks to his consistent every-down role.
