Stellar in second preseason game Thompson secured five of six targets for 66 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night. Impact Thompson has appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Seahawks since making his pro debut in 2021, but he has all of one catch to show for it. However, he's making a solid case in his longshot bid for a roster spot, following up his 3-26 line on four targets in the exhibition opener against the Bengals by either tying for or owning the team lead in receptions, receiving yards and targets Saturday night. Thompson also scored the only points of the night for Tampa Bay on his six-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter, and he could give head coach Todd Bowles and his staff a tough decision to make come cut-down day if he continues his strong play in Friday night's preseason finale against the Dolphins.
