Brandon Angelo identifies Thompson (currently on IR) as one of four backup quarterbacks he'd want to roster; would use Thompson as his starter among the backup options due to perceived underrated potential. Angelo positions Thompson as a viable third-round QB pick in a multi-QB strategy, allowing him to platoon or stream with injury-prone prospects like Milro or Lance while maintaining a reliable starter option.

Thompson is part of a backup QB unit that is regressing; the source states 'The regression of players & backup units. Like Ken Grant, Ollie Gordon & the backup QB unit. Should have been better,' and later 'By far, the backup QB group is getting worse more than any group. Miller shouldn't be in the league. Ewers is too inconsistent. I hope Gronowski gets more playing time in game three since Ewers is hurt. If Malik gets hurt in the regular season, might as well change the channel and watch something else,' indicating significant concern about backup quarterback depth.

Placed on injured reserve Wednesday, effectively ending his brief tenure with the Ravens. Head coach Jesse Minter described the injury as 'something small,' suggesting Thompson will likely reach an injury settlement and be released in the coming days. Thompson had established himself as the Ravens' third-string quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley and could have played himself into a 53-man roster spot with a strong preseason performance.

Bob Harris argues Thompson was misused by Mike McDaniel in Miami, who kept reserves in tight roles and became conservative with play-calling. Thompson went to Pittsburgh and played well enough in preseason to compete with Mason Rudolph, though the Steelers stuck with veteran Howard as a draft investment. Thompson's own assessment: he decided to play his game and not cramp his style like McDaniel did, showing up on tape in preseason. Harris suggests the Steelers saw enough to prefer Thompson over Anthony Fagnano (years away from backup role) and Tyler Huntley (won't embarrass but won't win big games).
