  • Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Does not practice Thursday

    Thompson (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Thompson did not participate in practice Thursday, his second straight absence. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, as there was no clear sign of decreased snap count in Week 14. The 27-year-old will likely need to return Friday for a chance to play Sunday versus the Texans.

  • Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Won't play Sunday

    Thompson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Thompson logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Cardinals' week of practice due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. The Washington State product has appeared in all 13 of Arizona's games thus far, recording 81 total tackles, six passes defensed and one forced fumble. While he's out for Week 15, Kitan Crawford is expected to operate as one of Arizona's top safeties.

  • Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Registers seven stops Sunday

    Thompson posted seven tackles (three solo) Sunday in a Week 14 loss to the Rams.

    Thompson tied for the second-most stops on the Cardinals in the loss. The veteran safety has been a steady IDP option this season, posting at least five tackles in 10 of his 13 contests. Thompson is up to 81 stops, including 1.0 sacks, and six defensed passes on the campaign.

    Thompson totaled nine tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass and a forced fumble Sunday in an overtime loss to the Jaguars.

    Thompson's nine stops tied for the Cardinals lead. Among his tackles was a sack of Trevor Lawrence late in the first half on which he forced fumble that was recovered by teammate Walter Nolen and returned for a touchdown. Thompson is up to 72 tackles and four defensed passes through 11 games on the season.

  • Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Gets four stops in loss

    Thompson recorded four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 27-23 loss versus the Packers.

    Thompson recorded a season-low 53 defensive snaps in Week 7, as Green Bay took a methodical offensive approach, and his tackle total was predictably a bit depressed. Those counting on him for IDP production will hope he gets more chances in Week 9 at Dallas after the Cardinals' bye in Week 8.

  • Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Falls just shy of 100 tackles

    Thompson tallied 98 tackles, three pass defenses and two fumble recoveries in 15 appearances during the 2024 season.

    Since recording 100-plus tackles in both 2021 and 2022, Thompson has taken a step back in that department, falling shy of the century mark in stops in back-to-back campaigns. He also didn't pick off a pass in 2024 for the first time since 2020 after accumulating eight interceptions across the previous three seasons. Thompson has one year remaining on his current contract and will continue to form a productive duo with fellow safety Budda Baker in the fall.
