Former Washington linebacker Shaq Thompson is expected to miss the remainder of the 2023 NFL season following a lower leg injury suffered against New Orleans on MNF.

Thompson, who plays for the Carolina Panthers, suffered the injury after being rolled on following the end of a play last night. Immediate thought was that the injury was ankle related, but after surgery this morning it was confirmed that he will miss the entire season with a fractured fibula.

Absolutely brutal for the 29-year-old, who before this season had not missed more than 14 games across his 8 prior seasons in the league.

Across his career Thompson has totaled 717 tackles, 12 sacks, 3 interceptions and 4 forced fumbles. He played at Washington from 2012-2014 and was drafted by the Panthers in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
