The AZCardinals make a 'somewhat surprising roster move.'
Thompson had played only six defensive snaps this season, but he was the Cardinals’ top backup at safety. Starting safeties Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson have played almost every defensive snap for Arizona this season.
Deionte Thompson has been on the field for 49 special-teams plays in three games this season, including 21 on Sunday in the Cardinals’ 20-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Thompson was the personal protector for Arizona punter Andy Lee when the Rams partially blocked a punt at the end of the Cardinals’ opening possession. Los Angeles got the football at the Arizona 35-yard line and kicked a field goal for the first points in the game.
