Bills' Corey Thompson: Game time-call against Eagles
Rotowire
Thompson (ankle) will be a game-time call for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
After not practicing for nearly a month, Thompson got back onto the field in a limited capacity this week. The team will likely want to test how the 25-year-old's ankle responds during pregame warmups before deciding whether to deploy him. Thompson usually sticks to a special-teams role, but he could have an uptick in usage if Matt Milano (hamstring) sits out.

Bills' Corey Thompson: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
Thompson was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
Thompson has yet to play in what is his rookie season, spending the campaign on Buffalo's practice squad thus far. He'll likely operate as a depth defender and special teams player for the Bills. Looking ahead, Thompson could see some action against the Jaguars in Week 12, especially if starting linebacker Matt Milano (concussion) is held out, though Milano is already three steps through the protocol and is working through No. 4 on Monday.
