Free-agent RB Chris Thompson and DE Eddie Yarbrough were signed to the San Francisco 49ers practice squad Wednesday, Sept. 22. The team also released TE Jordan Matthews from their practice squad.

Footballguys view: Thompson has speed and quickness with the ball in his hands. The 49ers have an interchangeable backfield, so Thompson would be a player to watch if he rose up the depth chart due to injury.

  Jaguars | Chris Thompson on his way out?    Tue Jan 26, 10:17 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Thompson 'isn't the long-term answer' as a third-down back because of his injury history and the emergence of RB James Robinson, in the opinion of Garry Smits of The Florida Times-Union.

Footballguys view: Thompson was never the long-term answer as a third-down running back for the Jaguars. Robinson can carry a large workload and be effective as a runner and receiver out of the backfield.

  Cardinals | Screen plays worked out well for Kenyan Drake    Tue Jun 23, 10:10 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Kenyan Drake picked up at least 15 yards on screen passes six times in 2019 - tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Thompson for the second-most by any NFL running back last season.

Footballguys view: Drake showed up in Arizona and made big plays from day one. What a perfect fit he was and is for the Kliff Kingsbury offense. The unit is one of the most high-powered offenses in the league, meaning that Drake should once again be able to take advantage of screens in 2020.

  Jaguars | Chris Thompson officially joins Jaguars    Wed May 13, 05:32 PM

Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Chris Thompson (Redskins) officially signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars Wednesday, May 13. Official terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Thompson is going to keep doing what he does best -- catching passes out of the backfield. Leonard Fournette is still in Jacksonville and he's still the lead back for the team. Thompson will compete with Ryquell Armstead to be the backup to Fournette. If healthy, Thompson could catch around 30 passes in a reserve role.

  Jaguars | Jacksonville adding Chris Thompson    Fri May 1, 06:19 PM

Free-agent RB Chris Thompson (Redskins) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars Friday, May 1, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Thompson is reunited with Jags OC Jay Gruden who was his coach in Washington. He's a pass-catching threat who should take third-down duties away from Leonard Fournette. Thompson has some flex appeal in PPR leagues due to his skill set and assumed role with the Jaguars.
