26CornerBlitz Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Thompson leaves practice with shoulder issue Posted by Chris Brown on December 28, 2017 – 1:56 pm Bills WR Deonte Thompson stepped out of practice early on Thursday. Head coach Sean McDermott provided an update on his status post practice. “He’s still being evaluated right now,” said McDermott. “That’s why I went in to check on him. It’s his shoulder a little bit, but we’ll see.” Thompson will likely be listed as a limited participant for Thursday’s practice. What his status will be for Sunday’s game will be known on Friday. If for some reason the shoulder injury should keep him out of Sunday’s game, Buffalo would likely turn to Brandon Tate or Brandon Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuvtalker Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Let's hope he's ok and will be good to go Sunday. Thompson has been absolutely clutch when his number is called, and I can see him having a big game Sunday. This guy is a competitor, and in big game situations, he simply rises to the occasion.

He's been a marked improvement over Zay Jones and provides a semblance of a deep threat that's been sorely missing for much of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Thompson took his opportunity when players went down and shined. Not only has he been a legitimate deep threat we've sorely lacked, but he plays physical as well. To me he's earned the clear cut #2 role after Benjamin. I really hope he gets to play Sunday. 2 minutes ago, nucci said: I think you filled your cliche quota in one post......having said that...he has played well this year Lol maybe so, but would you disagree?

Blade4Vor Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Deonte Thompson has added some excitement to a passing game that has been mostly non-existent. I really hope he can play Sunday! Hopefully, this is mostly precautionary in regard to the shoulder injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except he is never open deep, which is why Tyrod throws the ball out of bounds most times. Edited December 29, 2017 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one was not on a deep route it was more because of a great pattern concept where he started over the middle and then bent it back towards the corner...unsure why we don't run that more often, that is a very hard route to try and cover. OK...I shouldn't say NEVER...I'll say rarely. He is blanketed far more than he is open on those routes. Probably by a 7 or 8 to 1 margin. That being said...I do like Thompson...he definitely has a flair for the big play when we need it the most...I doubt we win the Tampa Bay game or the Colts game without big plays from him in the final minutes and in OT.

Lot of Miami residents gonna want to get ready to go out to the clibz for NYE instead of attending the game and having to deal with traffic, etc. (Especially with the Fish mathematically eliminated from the playoffs) Edited December 29, 2017 by RiotAct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
