Cowboys' Jalen Thompson: Agrees to deal with Cowboys
Thompson agreed to terms on a three-year contract worth up to $36 million with Dallas on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Thompson suited up for 15 regular-season appearances with Arizona in 2025, recording 95 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, plus six passes defensed and one forced fumble. He's totaled 90-plus tackles in back-to-back seasons and surpassed the 100-tackle mark in both 2021 and 2022. Now with the Cowboys, Thompson enters the offseason as a candidate to compete with Donovan Wilson for the starting strong safety job.

Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Records 95 tackles in 2025
Thompson tallied 95 tackles including 1.0 sack, six pass defenses and one forced fumble over 15 regular-season appearances in 2025.
Missing Weeks 15 and 16 due to a hamstring injury impacted Thompson's bid for his first campaign with 100-plus tackles since 2022. He still ended the year third on the Cardinals in stops behind Budda Baker (120) and Akeem Davis-Gaither (117). Thompson's contract voids on Feb. 15, so he appears set to become an unrestricted free agent and could be on the move if Arizona deems second-year pro Dadrion Taylor-Demerson ready to be a suitable replacement at strong safety.

Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Questionable for Week 17
Thompson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Thompson was limited in practice all week due to a hamstring injury that prevented him from playing in the Cardinals' last two games. Budda Baker (concussion) has already been ruled out for Sunday's road tilt, so Kitan Crawford and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would serve as the Cardinals' two starting safeties if Thompson is also ruled out.

Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Returns to practice Wednesday
Thompson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Arizona's walkthrough Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.
Thompson managed to practice for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury during the Week 14 loss to the Rams. The 27-year-old should resume his role as the team's starting strong safety should he manage to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus the Bengals.

Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Out for Week 16
Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Wednesday that Thompson (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
The Washington State product is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. Thompson has been a crucial part of the Cardinals' defense this season, recording 81 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, six passes defensed and one forced fumble. Kitan Crawford will likely have an expanded role on Arizona's first-team defense until Thompson returns from injury.

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.
