Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Dealing with quad issue
Thompson (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Thompson drew three targets in the Chargers' loss versus the Raiders in Week 2, but it appears he may have picked up a quad injury during that contest as well. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play in Week 3 at Buffalo.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Three targets in loss
Thompson caught one of his three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders.
Thompson's 13 offensive snaps were a distant fourth to those of the wide receivers ahead of him -- Ladd McConkey logged 31 snaps, Quentin Johnston had 55 and Tre' Harris was in on 56. Thompson's role in the pecking order is likely to remain similar for the foreseeable future.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Good to go for Week 1
Thompson (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Thompson practiced fully Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The fourth-round rookie wideout is expected to see some action on special teams as a returner and should slot in as the Chargers' fourth receiver behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Tending to hip issue
Thompson (hip) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Limited participant Wednesday
Thompson (undisclosed) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Thompson returned to practice Monday after missing the last two weeks with an undisclosed issue. The wide receiver's designation as limited in Wednesday's first official practice means he may be able to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cardinals.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Returns to practice Monday
Thompson (undisclosed) was a participant in Monday's practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Thompson has returned to practice after missing the last two weeks with an undisclosed issue. It remains to be seen how the rest of Thompson's practice week will unfold, but there is a chance the fourth-round rookie could suit up for Sunday's opener against the Cardinals.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Back at practice Sunday
Thompson (undisclosed) was on the field for Sunday's training camp practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Thompson was sporting a non-contact jersey during Sunday's session, but it's a positive sign after he was held out of Saturday's practice due to an unspecified injury. The rookie fourth-rounder is battling for a rotational spot in the Chargers' offense, and he'll look to make his case for regular playing time in Thursday's preseason finale against the Rams. Thompson has caught three passes on eight targets for 39 yards through two preseason games, adding one punt return for 12 yards.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Absent from Saturday's practice
Thompson (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Thompson exited Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers early due to injury. He was taken to the blue medical tent and his night was promptly over. It remains unclear what type of injury Thompson is dealing with, but a quick exit and inability to practice are not good signs. If the 23-year-old must miss time, KeAndre Lambert-Smith could see significantly more attention in the rest of the preseason and the start of the regular season.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Briefly plays in loss
Thompson caught one of two targets for nine yards in Thursday night's 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Thompson was targeted six times in last Thursday's contest against the Texans. The rookie fourth-rounder did not see much action against the 49ers, with both targets taking place in the first quarter before the wide receiver was ushered out of the game. Thompson played just nine snaps in the contest, totalling 15 percent of the Chargers' total offensive plays.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Six targets in first NFL game
Thompson caught two of six targets for 30 yards in Thursday's 27-7 preseason win over the Texans.
Thompson tied KeAndre Lambert-Smith for the team lead in targets as the Chargers got the rookie fourth-round pick involved in Thompson's first taste of NFL action. Both Thompson and Lambert-Smith are trying to push Tre' Harris for a spot in three-receiver sets alongside Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston. Thompson's likely to maintain a prominent role in the Chargers' second preseason game against the 49ers on Aug. 20.
