Thompkins excelled in preseason returns but landed on practice squad; expect regular-season call-ups.

The 26-year-old wide receiver (5-foot-8, 155 pounds, 4.35-second 40-yard dash) was signed as a July 27 free-agent addition and dominated preseason return reps: 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). Thompkins was waived on cutdown day (Aug. 30) and signed to the practice squad the following day. The source notes he may yo-yo from practice squad to active roster during the regular season as a return man option.
