  • Oct 7 Kris Rhim (X) WR Brenen Thompson, who returned to practice today, said he's unsure yet whether he'll play Sunday. Thompson also said it's been frustrating sitting out. "Especially with the offense not havin the production we want, knowing there's nothing I can really do about it at the moment. So I think I've just been stuck in the process, supporting the guys, and obviously staying with it."
