Deionte Thompson: Let go Tuesday
Thompson was waived by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Thompson had been providing depth at safety for the Cardinals since the team drafted him in 2019. His release comes after he was partially responsible for a blocked punt that set up a Rams field goal Sunday. In a corresponding move, Arizona signed linebacker Jesse Luketa from the practice squad to their active roster.

Cardinals' Deionte Thompson: Back with team

Cardinals' Deionte Thompson: Clear of injury report
Thompson (knee) isn't listed on Monday's estimated injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The 23-year-old was inactive for Sunday's win over the Bills due to the knee issue, so it's a bit of a surprise to see him absent from the injury report only a day later. Thompson should fill a reserve role Thursday against the Seahawks, but he could have a larger workload if Budda Baker (groin) or Jalen Thompson (shoulder) are unable to play.
