2023 Fantasy Outlook
Thompson's eighth season as a pro in 2022 saw him post his highest tackle tally yet, as he led the Panthers with 135 stops in 17 games. In doing so, he now sports four straight campaigns with triple-digit tackles. With Carolina reworking his contract this offseason, Thompson will remain with the team for the coming campaign. His leadership and playmaking figure to be key as the defense transitions to new coordinator Ejiro Evero's 3-4 scheme. Along with a healthy Jeremy Chinn, Thompson once again is a top candidate to pace the Panthers in tackles. Read Past Outlooks

Headed to IR
Thompson (lower leg) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Thompson suffered a fractured fibula during Monday night's loss to the Saints and has since been placed on IR. The veteran linebacker had surgery Tuesday and will likely miss the remainder of this season. Expect Kamu Grugier-Hill and Claudin Cherelus' roles to expand, as the two will likely fill Carolina's void at inside linebacker going forward.

Although he ranked third on the Panthers with 104 tackles, Thompson still topped the century mark in the category for a third straight campaign. The veteran also did so while missing three games, yet he contributed a pair of sacks and interceptions apiece to boot. As one of Carolina's defensive leaders, Thompson again should play a key role in 2022, when he'll headline a new-look linebacking corps following the offseason signings of Damien Wilson and Cory Littleton.
