Bills' Shaq Thompson: Limited in practice Wednesday
Thompson (neck) is listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Thompson was limited in advance of Buffalo's loss to the Eagles in Week 17 due to his neck injury, but he was cleared to suit up for that game without being assigned an official injury designation. The veteran linebacker was then among starters who rested Week 18. Barring any setbacks in practice Thursday and/or Friday, Thompson can be expected to gain clearance for Sunday's wild-card round matchup on the road against Jacksonville.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Modest first campaign in Buffalo
Thompson tallied 56 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with two defensed passes and a forced fumble over 12 regular-season contests in 2025-26.
Thompson missed four games due to injury and didn't play Week 18 against the Jets for rest purposes, but he still doubled the six contests he logged over the previous two seasons combined. The veteran linebacker had 10 tackles Week 6 against Atlanta and nine stops Week 13 versus Pittsburgh, but otherwise he finished with six or fewer tackles in his other 10 appearances. Thompson should remain a key part of Buffalo's defense in the postseason and will then become a free agent following the campaign.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Good for Week 17 after full practice
Thompson (neck) has avoided an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Thompson was looking iffy for Sunday after being deemed a limited participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. However, he was able to log a full practice Friday and is set to suit up versus Philadelphia. Thompson played just 11 defensive snaps against Cleveland this past Sunday due to the neck issue and wasn't able to take the field in the second half, but it turns out the injury won't sideline him further.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Limited in Wednesday's walkthrough
Thompson (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
Thompson sustained a neck injury during the first quarter of the Bills' Week 16 win over the Browns, which prevented him from returning to the game. His ability to practice in a limited capacity -- albeit in a walkthrough -- indicates the veteran linebacker is day-to-day. Thompson would likely need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Considered day-to-day
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Thompson (neck) is considered day-to-day, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Exits game with neck injury
Thompson (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.
Thompson sustained the injury during the first quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Dorian Williams will likely step into a more prominent role on defense for as long as Thompson is out of the game.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Four tackles in TNF loss
Thompson recorded four tackles (zero solo) in Buffalo's loss to Houston on Thursday night.
Making his return from a hamstring injury suffered in Week 8, Thompson played 58 percent of the defensive snaps and saw another 11 snaps on special teams. With Terrel Bernard (elbow) looking at an extended absence, Thompson could be a candidate for increased action on defense. The veteran linebacker has recorded 32 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass breakups across seven games this season.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Full practice at walkthrough
Thompson (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Won't play Week 11
Thompson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Could play Sunday
Thompson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Thompson fully participated in practice both Thursday and Friday, a positive sign for the weakside linebacker's chances to suit up for Sunday's game. Prior to injuring his hamstring, the veteran played in five games for the Bills, logging 27 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two defensed passes. If available for Sunday, Thompson will likely share rotational linebacker duties with other Bills defenders such as Matt Milano and Dorian Williams (groin).

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Practices in full
Thompson (hamstring) returned to full practice participation Thursday.
Thompson upgraded to full participation Thursday after being limited by a hamstring injury Wednesday, putting him on track to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers. Thompson missed each of the Bills' last two games due to the hamstring injury, and he looks set to get back to playing a significant role in the Bills' linebacker corps.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Limited Wednesday
Thompson (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Thompson has missed two consecutive games with his hamstring injury, but getting in a limited practice Wednesday would suggest he has a chance to return this week versus Tampa Bay. Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano are healthy and soaked up the vast majority of the snaps at linebacker Week 10 against Miami.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Ruled out for Week 10

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Misses Wednesday's practice
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Thompson (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Thompson was held out of the Bills' Week 9 win over the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll remain sidelined at Wednesday's practice. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least a limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Week 10 contest against the Dolphins. If Thompson returns Sunday, he's expected to operate as the Bills' top reserve inside linebacker.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Ruled out for Week 9
Thompson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Thompson played 89 percent of the defensive snaps last week against the Panthers and has started each of the past two games for the Bills. With Thompson out against Kansas City, Matt Milano should step back into the starting role again now that he's past his pectoral injury.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Downgrades to DNP on Thursday
Thompson (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
Thompson's trending in the wrong direction, as he was a limited participant Wednesday. If Thompson's unable to practice Friday, he would be unlikely to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Nursing hamstring injury
Thompson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
Thompson likely picked up the injury during the Bills' Week 8 blowout win over the Panthers, when he logged four tackles (three solo) while playing 54 defensive snaps. His ability to practice in a limited capacity indicates that the injury isn't considered a long-term issue, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 9 against the Chiefs. The veteran linebacker worked in a rotational role at linebacker earlier in the season but has played at least 40 defensive snaps over the Bills' last three games, accumulating 19 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble over that span. However, it's worth noting that regular starter Matt Milano (pectoral) practiced in full Wednesday after missing games recently.

Thompson recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Bills' 24-14 loss to the Falcons on Monday.
Thompson made his first start of the season in the absence of Matt Milano (pectoral), and the former led both teams in tackles while playing a season-high 63 defensive snaps. Thompson figures to play a prominent role in the Bills' defense for as long as Milano is on the shelf.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Tallies first sack of 2025
Thompson recorded five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during the Bills' 23-20 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Thompson took down Drake Maye for a two-yard loss midway through the fourth quarter, which led to the Patriots punting the ball away on the next play. It was Thompson's first sack of the regular season and first since the 2022 campaign as a member of the Panthers. The 2015 first-rounder has accumulated 14 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.

Bills' Shaq Thompson: Back in action
Thompson (hand/hamstring) is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
Thompson was inactive for Week 2 due to a combination of hand and hamstring injuries. He'll limit his absence to one game and will likely play primarily on special teams, though his role could expand a bit in the absence of Matt Milano (pectoral).
