"I feel like I'm back to being myself," said Thompson, who won the backup quarterback job in training camp and the exhibition season by beating out veteran quarterback Mike White. "It feels good to be back out there and moving around again. I'm full-go. I haven't had any setbacks."
Thompson said he got hit on a third-down throw and tried to soldier through it, continuing to play. But with each hit - and he took three brutal shots to his chest the rest of the game - the pain in his ribs got worse.
"I'm excited to be back. That was a tough loss the last time I was out there. It was frustrating," said Thompson, who finished that game completing 10 of 16 passes, throwing for 79 yards (74.7 passer rating) in his three quarters of work.
