2024 Fantasy Outlook
Coming off a career season in 2022, when he recorded 135 tackles, Thompson fractured his fibula at the beginning of Carolina's 2023 campaign and missed the team's final 15 games. The 30-year-old inside linebacker now has moved past his injury and is poised for another big role this year, especially after the Panthers lost his co-star Frankie Luvu to the Commanders in free agency.

Ready for 2024
Thompson said Wednesday that he feels "amazing" after suffering a fractured ankle nine months ago, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Person, Thompson said that he also underwent another surgery this offseason to address a groin issue that originated in 2020. The 30-year-old linebacker added that he expects to play five more seasons in the NFL and hopes to retire as a Panther, per David Newton of ESPN.com. Thompson seems to be in good health and spirits heading into 2024, when he should reclaim a large role as the team's defensive field general.

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.
