Anterio Thompson, a sixth-round draft pick from Washington, has been placed on the non-football injury list by the Atlanta Falcons. The 6-foot-2, 306-pound defensive tackle has not participated in training camp activities following a lingering injury that also sidelined him during minicamp and previous organized team activities. Thompson, who played a single season with UW after transferring from Iowa and Western Michigan, is the only draft choice yet to practice with the team this offseason.
