Thompson was waived by the Titans on Thursday, the team's official site reports.

The 2012 5th-round pick recorded 11 catches and one touchdown over three seasons in Tennessee while playing mostly on special teams. The knee injury he suffered in 2014 was still troubling Thompson in camp, so the Titans chose to part ways. Even if Thompson latches on with another team, it won't be in much more than a special teams role.

Lingering knee issues have landed Thompson on IR, the Tennessean reports.

With Thompson (who recorded two catches for 24 yards in three games this season) joining Craig Stevens on IR, the Titans bolstered their tight end depth behind Delanie Walker by signing Brett Brackett off Seattle's practice squad.

Thompson (knee) is expected to return to practice sometime this week, John Glennon of the Tennessean reports.

Thompson hasn't been active in Tennessee's last five games. Even when healthy, the third-year tight end hasn't made much of an impact this season, having recorded only two catches (for four targets) for 24 yards this season.

Thompson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Thompson practiced on a limited fashion this week, but he's still not healthy enough to return after being out since Week 3.

Thompson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans, the Tennessean reports.

Though he was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, Thompson -- who last suited up in Week 3 -- is expected to miss another game Sunday, which represents a hit to the Titans' Week 8 TE depth behind Delanie Walker.

Thompson (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, John Glennon of The Tennessean reports.

This was the first participation in practice in two weeks for Thompson, so it's at least some progress for a player who hasn't seen game time since Week 3.

Thompson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Mike Glennon of the Tennessean reports.

This was little more than a formality, as Thompson did not practice in any capacity during the week and was previously listed as doubtful. Craig Stevens (quad) is done for the year, leaving just Chase Coffman behind Delanie Walker at tight end for Tennessee, though the team could add Brett Brackett for depth.

Thompson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Washington, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.

With Thompson expected to sit, fellow TE Brett Brackett is a candidate to be promoted to the Titans' 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's contest.

Thompson (knee) did not practice Wednesday, according to John Glennon of the Tennessean.

With Craig Stevens out for the season, Thompson's status gains some import for the Titans from a depth perspective, but as long Delanie Walker is healthy, Thompson is off the fantasy radar.

Thompson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Thompson was unable to practice Thursday and Friday and with the depth at tight end in Tennessee, there's no reason to force him to play Sunday.

Thompson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, The Tennessean's Jim Wyatt reports.

This is more of a depth issue for the Titans than any kind of real issue for fantasy players. If Thompson is limited against Jacksonville, that should lead to increased snaps for Delanie Walker.

Thompson (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, the Tennessean's Jim Wyatt reports.

With Delanie Walker's shoulder injury likely to linger, Thompson's injury will continue to hurt the Titans' tight end depth. Thompson was never a significant fantasy asset, but a lack of quality backups means that Walker should continue to see a large amount of snaps, even if he isn't 100 percent.

Thompson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Thompson's absence will merely hurt the Titans' depth at tight end, as he likely wasn't a high-percentage fantasy play to begin with. Delanie Walker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest, and if needed, will be backed up by Craig Stevens and Chase Coffman.

Thompson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Browns, the Tennessean reports.

With fellow TE Delanie Walker probable for the contest, Thompson's likely absence this weekend hurts the Titans' depth at the position more than it does fantasy owners.

Thompson (knee) missed practice Thursday and appears he'll miss his second straight game Sunday, the Tennessean reports.

Craig Stevens will be the primary backup to Delanie Walker at tight end.

Thompson (knee) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Thompson was absent from practice all this week while nursing a knee injury, so he won't be available to play in Sunday's AFC South meeting. As a result, teammate Delanie Walker should continue to see the vast majority of the Titans' snaps at tight end.

Thompson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts, the Tennessean reports.

After missing practice all week, Thompson figures to be inactive Sunday, though on the plus side, the Titans are optimistic that fellow TE Delanie Walker will suit up Sunday, despite a questionable injury designation.

Thompson caught two balls for 24 yards during Sunday's win in Kansas City.

Aside from tallying a nine-yard touchdown in Week 10 last year, Thompson's performance Sunday marked his most productive, PPR or otherwise, in his three seasons in the league. His status as the third tight end in Tennessee won't provide him with much utility once again.

Thompson, who caught all five of his targets for 56 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Saints, is a lock to make the roster as the No. 3 tight end, ESPN.com reports.

Starting tight end Delanie Walker is no star, but the veteran doesn't seem to be in much danger of losing his job. Thompson, a 24-year-old who played defensive end in college, does have the requisite athleticism to eventually eat into Walker's targets, should the veteran struggle.

Thompson has had an impressive training camp so far, The Tennessean reports.

Thompson finished with only six receptions in 2013, but a good showing in the preseason could help him become a bigger part of the offense in 2014. Despite doing well in camp, the 6-6 tight end still finds himself behind both Delanie Walker and Craig Stevens on the depth chart for the time being.
