James Thompson Jr. — Active
Thompson hasn't played since Week 2 against the Dolphins after playing 35 percent of the defensive snaps across the first two weeks of the season. He'll slide back into his depth role along the defensive line behind Osa Odighizuwa and Naquan Jones.

James Thompson Jr. — Questionable
Thompson has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 against Miami, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the defensive lineman has "a chance" to play in the team's Week 6 matchup against the Commanders on Monday Night Football. Thompson has registered four total tackles (one solo) over two games this season.
James Thompson Jr. — Out
As expected, Thompson will miss a third consecutive game due to an ankle injury. He didn't practice during Week 5 prep, so he'll need to return to the field to have a realistic shot of being available for Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 19. Naquan Jones and Sebastian Valdez will both see an uptick in rotational snaps at defensive tackle behind Osa Odighizuwa and Gracen Halton.
James Thompson Jr. — Out
Thompson has already missed the 49ers' last two games with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 2 versus the Dolphins, and it seems like he's trending towards missing another contest come Sunday. In that case, Sebastian Valdez would be a candidate for increased snaps on the defensive line.
James Thompson Jr. — Out
Thompson is in line to miss a second consecutive game due to the high-ankle sprain he suffered during the Week 2 win over the Dolphins. While there's currently no timetable for his return, his next chance to play will be the Week 6 matchup against Seattle.
