Bills' Shaq Thompson: Four tackles in TNF loss
Thompson recorded four tackles (zero solo) in Buffalo's loss to Houston on Thursday night.
Making his return from a hamstring injury suffered in Week 8, Thompson played 58 percent of the defensive snaps and saw another 11 snaps on special teams. With Terrel Bernard (elbow) looking at an extended absence, Thompson could be a candidate for increased action on defense. The veteran linebacker has recorded 32 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass breakups across seven games this season.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Won't play Week 11
Thompson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Could play Sunday
Thompson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Thompson fully participated in practice both Thursday and Friday, a positive sign for the weakside linebacker's chances to suit up for Sunday's game. Prior to injuring his hamstring, the veteran played in five games for the Bills, logging 27 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two defensed passes. If available for Sunday, Thompson will likely share rotational linebacker duties with other Bills defenders such as Matt Milano and Dorian Williams (groin).

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Practices in full
Thompson (hamstring) returned to full practice participation Thursday.
Thompson upgraded to full participation Thursday after being limited by a hamstring injury Wednesday, putting him on track to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers. Thompson missed each of the Bills' last two games due to the hamstring injury, and he looks set to get back to playing a significant role in the Bills' linebacker corps.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Limited Wednesday
Thompson (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Thompson has missed two consecutive games with his hamstring injury, but getting in a limited practice Wednesday would suggest he has a chance to return this week versus Tampa Bay. Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano are healthy and soaked up the vast majority of the snaps at linebacker Week 10 against Miami.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Ruled out for Week 10

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Misses Wednesday's practice
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Thompson (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Thompson was held out of the Bills' Week 9 win over the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll remain sidelined at Wednesday's practice. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least a limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Week 10 contest against the Dolphins. If Thompson returns Sunday, he's expected to operate as the Bills' top reserve inside linebacker.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Ruled out for Week 9
Thompson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Thompson played 89 percent of the defensive snaps last week against the Panthers and has started each of the past two games for the Bills. With Thompson out against Kansas City, Matt Milano should step back into the starting role again now that he's past his pectoral injury.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Downgrades to DNP on Thursday
Thompson (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
Thompson's trending in the wrong direction, as he was a limited participant Wednesday. If Thompson's unable to practice Friday, he would be unlikely to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Nursing hamstring injury
Thompson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
Thompson likely picked up the injury during the Bills' Week 8 blowout win over the Panthers, when he logged four tackles (three solo) while playing 54 defensive snaps. His ability to practice in a limited capacity indicates that the injury isn't considered a long-term issue, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 9 against the Chiefs. The veteran linebacker worked in a rotational role at linebacker earlier in the season but has played at least 40 defensive snaps over the Bills' last three games, accumulating 19 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble over that span. However, it's worth noting that regular starter Matt Milano (pectoral) practiced in full Wednesday after missing games recently.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Leads Buffalo with 10 stops
Thompson recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Bills' 24-14 loss to the Falcons on Monday.
Thompson made his first start of the season in the absence of Matt Milano (pectoral), and the former led both teams in tackles while playing a season-high 63 defensive snaps. Thompson figures to play a prominent role in the Bills' defense for as long as Milano is on the shelf.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Tallies first sack of 2025
Thompson recorded five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during the Bills' 23-20 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Thompson took down Drake Maye for a two-yard loss midway through the fourth quarter, which led to the Patriots punting the ball away on the next play. It was Thompson's first sack of the regular season and first since the 2022 campaign as a member of the Panthers. The 2015 first-rounder has accumulated 14 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Back in action
Thompson (hand/hamstring) is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
Thompson was inactive for Week 2 due to a combination of hand and hamstring injuries. He'll limit his absence to one game and will likely play primarily on special teams, though his role could expand a bit in the absence of Matt Milano (pectoral).

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Sitting out Week 2
Thompson (hamstring/hand) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Thompson has been dealing with a hamstring issue since early August. He was cleared to play Week 1 against Baltimore, but he was used exclusively on special teams. Thompson also recently picked up a hand injury, and the pair of issues will sideline him for Week 2. The Bills have a short turnaround with a Thursday tilt against Miami next week, giving Thompson less time to heal up in order to get back on the field for Week 3.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Questionable due to hamstring, hand
Thompson (hamstring/hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Thompson is dealing with a hand injury in addition to his previously known hamstring injury, but he managed to practice in limited fashion Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. The backup linebacker was limited to special teams during Buffalo's Week 1 win over the Ravens.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Limited on Thursday
Thompson (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Thompson missed practice Wednesday and has dealt with the hamstring issue since the start of training camp. The veteran linebacker didn't see any action on defense in Week 1 but played 15 snaps on special teams in the win.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Sits out again Wednesday
Thompson (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Thompson also missed practice last Wednesday but was ultimately cleared to suit up for Buffalo's win over the Ravens in Week 1. The veteran linebacker is likely simply having his workload similarly managed heading into Sunday's game against the Jets. It's notable, though, that Thompson played exclusively on special-teams Week 1. Even once fully healthy, the 31-year-old may not see enough work on defense with the Bills to be included on the fantasy radar in IDP formats.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: In line to play Week 1
Thompson (hamstring) is not listed on Buffalo's injury report Wednesday.
Thompson hurt his hamstring early in training camp and didn't play in any preseason contests. However, his ability to practice Wednesday suggests he should be good to go for Sunday's Week 1 matchup versus Baltimore. Thompson is slated to work in a depth role at linebacker for the Bills this season.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Dealing with hamstring injury
Thompson will not participate in Sunday's training camp practice after injuring his hamstring during Friday's session, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Thompson was sidelined for all but four games with the Panthers last season due to a torn Achillles, but he was cleared to participate in practices once training camp opened in July. The veteran linebacker is now working through a hamstring issue, and the Bills will likely manage the injury conservatively to avoid aggravation. Thompson is projected to serve in a depth role at linebacker, and his absence would open the door for Edefuan Ulofoshio and Joe Andreessen to work with the second-team defense. Even if fully healthy, it's unclear whether Thompson will participate in preseason games, starting with Saturday's opener against the Giants.
