Atlanta Falcons Place Former UW DL on Non-Football Injury List

After playing his way into the 2026 NFL draft, former Washington Huskies defensive lineman Anterio Thompson has yet to practice for the Atlanta Falcons.

On Saturday, the Falcons placed the 6-foot-2, 306-pound defensive tackle on the non-football injury list as rookies arrived on Friday for the start of training camp. Thompson was selected in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL draft by Atlanta after one season at UW last fall, which saw the ex-Iowa and Western Michigan transfer finish with 30 tackles, 2.5 for loss, and 1.5 sacks while appearing in all 13 games for the Huskies in 2025.
