Thompson (shoulder) was placed on the Buccaneers' practice-squad injured list Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Thompson suffered the injury in Thursday's loss to the Falcons after he was elevated from the practice squad for the matchup. However, he did revert to the practice squad Friday before his placement on the injured list. He'll now be out of action and unable to practice with the team for at least the next four weeks.

Cody Thompson: Goes back to practice squad
Rotowire
Thompson reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Thompson got his first opportunity this season to play Thursday versus Atlanta and tallied three offensive snaps along with three special-teams snaps. He didn't get any targets on offense but returned one kickoff for 21 yards. Thompson's likelihood of being elevated again Week 6 versus New Orleans likely depends upon the health of fellow wideouts Jalen McMillan (hamstring), Trey Palmer (concussion) and Kameron Johnson (ankle).

Rotowire
Thompson was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Thompson will get a chance to see his first action of the 2024 campaign, with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) ruled out for TNF.

Rotowire
Thompson was released by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Buccaneers' Cody Thompson: Keeps ascending in preseason finale
Rotowire
Thompson secured seven of eight targets for 45 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday night.
Thompson led the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, putting together a fitting cap on what has been a very productive training camp and preseason. The journeyman wideout may have done enough to carve out a spot at the bottom of the team's receiver depth chart after recording 15 receptions for 137 yards and a touchdown through three exhibitions, and Rakim Jarrett's (undisclosed) likely placement on IR could clear the path for Thompson to make it past final cutdowns.

Buccaneers' Cody Thompson: Stellar in second preseason game
Rotowire
Thompson secured five of six targets for 66 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night.
Thompson has appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Seahawks since making his pro debut in 2021, but he has all of one catch to show for it. However, he's making a solid case in his long-shot bid for a roster spot with the Buccaneers, following up his 3-26-0 line on four targets in the exhibition opener against the Bengals by either tying for or owning the team lead in receptions, receiving yards and targets Saturday night. Thompson also scored the only points of the night for Tampa Bay's offense on his six-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter, and he could give head coach Todd Bowles and his staff a tough decision come final cuts if he continues his strong play in Friday night's preseason finale against the Dolphins.

Thompson agreed to a contract with the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
With Deven Thompkins (hamstring) recently landing on injured reserve, Thompson will give the Bucs another veteran wideout to serve as a camp body. In 12 career games with the Seahawks from 2021 through 2023, Thompson has recorded just one reception for 10 yards.

Cody Thompson: Heads back to practice squad
Rotowire
Thompson reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Thompson played 15 snaps during Thursday's loss at Dallas, all of them on special teams. If 2022 seventh-rounder Dareke Young is able to suit up for Seattle in Week 14, that could be enough to keep Thompson from being elevated again for the Seahawks' next game at San Francisco.

Thompson didn't play in Friday's preseason win over the Vikings due to a groin injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
As of Sunday, Thompson has yet to return to the practice field, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.

Rotowire
Seattle didn't extend Thompson (shoulder) a qualifying offer or contract tender as a restricted free agent Wednesday, so he's officially an unrestricted free agent, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Seahawks' Cody Thompson: Injures shoulder
Rotowire
Thompson left Saturday's 32-25 preseason loss to the Steelers with a shoulder injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Thompson suffered a shoulder injury early in Saturday's game and only played seven offensive snaps. The 26-year-old receiver spent most of the 2021 season on the practice squad, so he'll need a quick recovery to have a chance at the 53-man roster.
