Thompson (knee) tried out with the Cardinals on Wednesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
Thompson has seemingly recovered from the knee injury that led the Vikings to waiving him with a failed physical designation back in April. The 25-year-old last appeared in a game during the 2023 season, when he recorded seven tackles (five solo) across 15 regular-season games with Minnesota and will now look to catch on with a new team.

Vikings' NaJee Thompson: Lands on PUP list
The Vikings placed Thompson (knee) on the active/PUP list Monday.
Thompson has been dealing with a knee issue since the beginning of January, which has now caused him to land on Minnesota's PUP list. The second-year cornerback is still eligible to practice and play in the preseason at any point, but his placement on the PUP indicates he's not fully past his knee injury just yet. Expect Thompson to compete for a special-teams role as the offseason progresses.
