Defensive Tackle · Atlanta Falcons

Anterio Thompson

No. 98 · Rookie

Thompson's training camp starts before it starts — on the wrong list

The roster move was quiet. One line in a transaction wire: Anterio Thompson, placed on the Non-Football Injury list as the Atlanta Falcons opened training camp. That means he can't practice with the team until he's cleared — a significant setback at a moment when every rep counts for a player still trying to prove he belongs.

Thompson came in as a sixth-round pick, which is to say he came in with nothing given to him. Late-round players don't have a margin. They have training camp.
