Falcons' Deven Thompkins: Back to practice squad
Thompkins reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Thompkins was elevated to the Falcons' active roster for a second straight game due to the absence of Drake London (knee). Thompkins played just nine of 69 offensive snaps during the Falcons' 27-24 loss to the Jets on Sunday, but he made the most of his limited playing time as he caught both of his targets for 23 yards while adding a five-yard rush. He also played five snaps on special teams and turned three kickoff returns into 63 yards. Thompkins is eligible to be elevated from Atlanta's practice squad once more this season, and that could come as soon as Week 14 against the Seahawks this Sunday if London is not cleared to return.

Falcons' Deven Thompkins: Elevated to face Bills
The Falcons have elevated Thompkins for Monday's game against Buffalo, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Thompkins will get a chance to provide depth at wide receiver for the Falcons on Monday, with Darnell Mooney (hamstring) ruled out. Across seven regular-season appearances with the Panthers in 2024, Thompkins secured all four of his targets for 20 receiving yards while also contributing in the return game. He'll revert to Atlanta's practice squad after Monday's contest.

Deven Thompkins: Signed to Atlanta's practice squad
The Falcons signed Thompkins to the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Since entering the league in 2022 as an undrafted free agent, Thompkins has mostly served in a return role on special teams, having returned 33 kickoffs for 724 yards and 36 punts for 314 yards while adding 26 catches (on 39 targets) for 135 yards and one touchdown. Thompkins could be elevated to the active roster to serve in a return role for Sunday's game against the Commanders if Jamal Agnew (groin) is unable to play.

Panthers' Deven Thompkins: Plays minimal role in Carolina
Thompkins caught all four of his targets for 20 yards and rushed two times for seven yards over seven regular-season games in 2024. He also tallied 134 kick-return yards and 19 punt-return yards.
Thompkins spent most of his 2024 campaign bouncing between the Panthers' practice squad and active roster, appearing in seven consecutive games from Week 9 to Week 16. The 25-year-old played a minimal role on Carolina's offense, logging just six touches over 51 offensive snaps. He also wasn't much of a factor in the return game, stepping in for Raheem Blackshear and serving as the team's top return specialist in Weeks 14 and 15. Thompkins is now set to be a restricted free agent this summer, but it wouldn't be surprising if he lands elsewhere, as he was a healthy scratch in the Panthers' final two games of the season.

Panthers' Deven Thompkins: Healthy scratch for Week 17
Thompkins (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Thompkins played nine snaps (seven on offense, two on special tams) and turned his lone carry into nine yards during the Panthers' Week 16 overtime win against the Cardinals. However, he will observe Sunday's NFC South contest in street clothes, and his next opportunity to play will be in the Panthers' regular-season finale against the Falcons. Raheem Blackshear and Velus Jones will serve as Carolina's top kickoff and punt return options due to Thompkins' absence.

Panthers' Deven Thompkins: Expected to operate as top returner
Thompkins will serve as the Panthers' top return man during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.
With Raheem Blackshear (chest) unavailable, Thompkins' role is set to increase. Thompkins totaled 327 kick-return and 234 punt-return yards for the Buccaneers last season, and he had 46 kick-return and 15 punt-return yards in place of Blackshear last week.

Panthers' Deven Thompkins: Records short reception in loss
Thompkins played 11 of the Panthers' 71 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a seven-yard reception in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.
Thompkins also contributed in the return game for the first time all season, bringing back two kickoffs for 46 yards and one punt for 15 yards. The increased involvement on special teams came after Raheem Blackshear (chest) exited early with an injury that could affect his availability for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but the Panthers could choose to use the newly signed Velus Jones as their return man over Thompkins if Blackshear isn't available. Meanwhile, Thompkins' role on offense will likely remain muted with fellow receivers Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker (quadricep) and David Moore comfortably ahead of him on the depth chart.

Panthers' Deven Thompkins: Catches three passes vs. Chiefs
Thompkins caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
Thompkins had his best game of the season in Sunday's narrow loss, catching his first three passes of the year for 13 yards, which ranked fourth among Carolina's wide receivers. The Utah State product has appeared in just three games this season, also having recorded one carry for minus-2 yards. He's expected to continue serving as a depth piece in the Panthers' wide receiver room as the season progresses.

Deven Thompkins: Gets another opportunity
Thompkins (hamstring) signed with the Panthers' practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Thompkins joined Carolina in July after being waived by Tampa Bay. However, he suffered a hamstring injury that ultimately led to him receiving an injury settlement with the team and being let go. Now healthy, the Utah State product will receive a second chance with the Panthers and bolster the organizational depth at wide receiver.
