Anticipating another missed game Thompson (knee) is considered doubtful to play in Saturday's contest against Minnesota, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.
Impact Thompson injured his knee during the team's season opener against Penn State, and he's ultimately failed to take the field since then. With the team expressing doubt regarding the 6-foot-3 receiver's Week 5 availability almost a full week in advance, it indicates that there's likely still a ways to go in his recovery process. While Thompson remains sidelined, Charlie Jones should continue serving as Purdue's clear top option in the passing game, while Tyrone Tracy and TJ Sheffield are in line to receive additional targets.

Thompson finished out 2021 with 30 grabs for 457 yards and four touchdowns. Of that total, seven catches for 2217 yards and two scores came int the bowl game.
