Deven Thompkins: Gets another opportunity
Thompkins (hamstring) signed with the Panthers' practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Thompkins joined Carolina in July after being waived by Tampa Bay. However, he suffered a hamstring injury that ultimately led to him receiving an injury settlement with the team and being let go. Now healthy, the Utah State product will receive a second chance with the Panthers and bolster the organizational depth at wide receiver.

Thompkins (hamstring) was waived/injured by the Panthers on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
The wide receiver can be claimed by another team until Monday morning.

Panthers' Deven Thompkins: Inks deal with Carolina
Thompkins (hamstring) signed with the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
The Buccaneers waived Thompkins with an injury settlement in early June, and now that he's past his hamstring issue, the third-year wide receiver has decided to follow his former offensive coordinator, Dave Canales, to Carolina. Thompkins has served primarily as a return man during his time in the NFL, so he'll likely be competing with Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Raheem Blackshear for the the Panthers' top kick and punt returner spots as the offseason progresses.

Deven Thompkins: Waived with injury designation
The Buccaneers waived Thompkins (undisclosed) with an injury designation Thursday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Thompkins was re-signed to a one-year deal with Tampa Bay in March after appearing in all 17 of its regular-season contests and two postseason games in 2023, but he's now dealing with an apparent injury that could sideline him for the season. If the wide receiver clears waivers, he'll likely revert to the Buccaneers' injured reserve ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Buccaneers' Deven Thompkins: Inks new deal
Thompkins re-signed with the Buccaneers on a one-year deal Tuesday.
Thompkins joined the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of Utah and initially started the season on the team's practice squad.

Buccaneers' Deven Thompkins: No production in playoff loss
Thompkins failed to bring in his only target and netted no gain on his one punt return in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Thompkins' near non-existent offensive role wasn't exactly surprising given his sporadic use from scrimmage all season, but he also got much fewer opportunities than usual as a returner. The quiet finish to the campaign doesn't necessarily undermine Thompkins' progress in his second season, when he accrued 561 return yards and produced a 17-83-1 line through the air despite being stuck in the latter portion of the Buccaneers' receiver depth chart. Thompkins is set to be an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason, meaning he should be back with the Buccaneers in 2024 as a cost-effective developmental option and productive special-teams performer.

Buccaneers' Deven Thompkins: Multiple roles in wild-card win
Thompkins secured his only target for four yards, rushed once for 10 yards, returned one kickoff for 27 yards and ran back two punts for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday night.
Thompkins was active in the return game as usual, but he also was able to enjoy some sporadic offensive participation. The second-year speedster did record a career-high 17 receptions in the regular season, but his primary value is almost certainly going to come as a returner in Sunday's divisional-round road matchup versus the Lions.

Buccaneers' Deven Thompkins: One reception in Week 18 win
Thompkins brought in his only target for one yard in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Thompkins didn't see any return opportunities for a change, but he was able to record a catch for the second straight game to close out the regular season. The second-year speedster wrapped up the 2023 campaign with new career highs in receptions (17), receiving yards (83) and targets (25) while also scoring his first NFL touchdown. However, Thompkins' primary value heading into the postseason is on special teams, as he finished the regular season with 561 total return yards.
