Thompson hopped in front of a pass from Bengals' quarterback Jake Browning in the third quarter, securing his first career interception. The safety was starting a second straight game in place of Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) and he appears likely to do so again if Fitzpatrick is unable to go Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Thompson hopped in front of a pass from Bengals' quarterback Jake Browning in the third quarter, securing his first career interception. The safety was starting a second straight game in place of Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) and he appears likely to do so again if Fitzpatrick is unable to go Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Thompson was elevated from the practice squad for each of the last two games and will now officially join the 53-man roster with Elijah Riley (ankle) placed on injured reserve. The San Diego State product should have a regular role in the secondary as long as Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) is out of action.
