Chris Thompson's Back Getting 'Better Every Day'

After suffering an injury that originally looked worse than what it turned out to be vs. the New York Jets, Chris Thompson said his back is feeling better every day.

Chris Thompson refused to let a back injury suffered during the first quarter of last Sunday’s game against the Jets stop him from playing, but the third-year running back was feeling the effects of his decision on Monday.

On a 3rd-and-2 play late in the first quarter, quarterback Kirk Cousins tried to find Thompson down the field with the running back having a step on Jets linebacker Demario Davis.
