the reps were dominated by late free-agent addition Deven Thompkins. The 26-year-old wide receiver was a July 27 add — alongside Patrick Johnson — and the diminutive (5-foot-8 and 155-pound) but speedy (4.35-second 40-yard dash time at Utah State's Pro Day) wideout fielded seven kickoffs for 198 total return yards (28.3 yards per return average) with a long of 33 yards. He also returned four punts for 25 yards (6.3 yards per return average) with a long of 12 yards.

Thompkins' preseason return dominance (28.3 KR avg) positions him as likely practice squad call-up.

Thompkins, a 26-year-old wide receiver added as a late free agent on July 27, dominated preseason return reps with seven kickoffs for 198 yards (28.3 yards per return average, long of 33) and four punts for 25 yards (6.3 yards per return average, long of 12). Standing 5-foot-8 and 155 pounds with a 4.35-second 40-yard dash, he was waived on Aug. 30 and signed to the practice squad the following day. The source expects him to yo-yo between the practice squad and active roster during the regular season as a call-up candidate.
