Waived from NFI list Thompson (chest) was waived from the reserve/non-football illness list with an injury settlement Friday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Impact Thompson suffered a cardiac arrest in June of 2024 and hasn't played or practiced since then. With this injury settlement, Thompson -- a 2023 fifth-round pick -- will continue to focus on his rehab and will be free to sign with another team once he's healthy.

Cut by KC, likely to return The Chiefs waived Thompson (chest) with a failed physical Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Thompson was let go along with linebacker Blake Lynch in order to clear space for incoming undrafted free agents. However, Thompson is expected to clear waivers, in which case he'll return to the Chiefs on injured reserve, per Derrick. Thompson had a seizure and went into cardiac arrest during a team meeting last June and spent the campaign on the non-football illness list. He's continuing to rehab, and the Chiefs remain committed to helping him recover, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Shifts to NFI list The Chiefs placed Thompson (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Thompson being placed on the NFI list to begin training camp isn't surprising, as he suffered a seizure and cardiac arrest during a team meeting back in June. Kansas City will doubtless take every precaution in Thompson's recovery as he works his way back to the practice field. He'll be eligible to return from the NFI list at any point during training camp or the preseason, once cleared to practice.
