Cardinals released S Deionte Thompson.
Thompson has mostly played special teams for the Cardinals -- he's played at least 41% of the special teams snaps in every season since he was drafted in 2019. Thompson had just 71 defensive snaps in 2021 and just six in limited 2022 action. He has a chance to pop up elsewhere due to the special teams work. The Cardinals also promoted Jesse Luketa, who they view as a special-teams prospect, to the active roster from their practice squad.
Cardinals activated S Deionte Thompson from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Thompson only missed one week of action while stuck on the team's COVID list. He's totaled 24 tackles on 42% of the Cardinals' defensive snaps this season.
Cardinals placed S Deionte Thompson on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
It is not known at this time if Thompson tested positive or has been in contact with someone who has. This is the Cardinals' fourth player to land on the list this season. Unfortunately, the team is getting thin at safety, with Chris Banjo likely starting opposite Budda Baker against the Patriots in Week 12 if Thompson is not cleared in time.
Thompson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Thompson will miss the first game of his rookie campaign. Jalen Thompson and Budda Baker have slotted in as the team's starting safeties, but Deionte has served in a respectable role with at least a 38-percent snap share in five straight games. Chris Banjo figures to see an uptick in snaps in Thompson's place.
