The Facts: The Titans released Thompson on Thursday, putting an end to his disappointing tenure with the team.
Diehards Line:
Thompson missed all three days of this week's minicamp after saying he had knee soreness. Thursday he said his knee still hurts and indicated he could need surgery. HC Ken Whisenhunt, meanwhile, has said Thompson's knee injury was a bit of a mystery. Thompson had practiced throughout the offseason with no issues. The disagreement clearly contributed to the split. A fifth-round pick in 2012, the converted defensive lineman played in 35 games for the Titans over three seasons, catching 11 passes for 83 yards and one touchdown.
