Thurmond grabbed a late-game interception and added four tackles in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Jets.

In just three games, Thurmond has set a single-season career-high in interceptions with two. He picked up a couple in the preseason, as well, and has routinely been in good position in the secondary during his brief time with the Eagles. For someone playing his first season ever at safety, Thurmond has been the Eagles' anchor next to safety Malcolm Jenkins.

Thurmond notched an interception and six tackles in Monday's loss to the Falcons.

After two preseason interceptions, Thurmond showed Monday that he will produce during the regular season as well. He has played in four games as an Eagle, and recorded three interceptions. He has been sturdy after switching to safety in his first season with the Eagles.

Thurmond returned an interception for a touchdown in Saturday's 39-26 win over the Packers.

The pick was Thurmond's second in as many games, and the presumed starting safety has seemed comfortable in the Eagles' secondary so far after making the leap from cornerback. He won't be able to bring an interception to the table each time out, but he's looked strong in three preseason games.

Thurmond is expected to start next to Malcolm Jenkins at safety, according to CSN Philadelphia's Geoff Mosher.

The Eagles moved Thurmond to safety this offseason, and while he was initially expected to compete for a starting job, it now seems he may essentially be handed one. Second-round rookie Eric Rowe will compete for a starting spot at cornerback, and the Eagles' other options to play safety are underwhelming. Thurmond's role probably won't be conducive to piling up tackles, given that he's on the smaller (and faster) side of the safety spectrum.

Thurmond, who is competing for a starting safety spot, continues to draw praise from head coach Chip Kelly, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "Walt's done a really nice job," Kelly said. "He's probably been our most productive guy in the secondary in terms of pass breakups and strips and things like that. He always seems to be around the ball, so he seems like he's fitting in there right now. But again, we still don't have pads on, we're still evaluating guys with helmets and shorts and T-shirts."

The 27-year-old Thurmond has exclusively played cornerback during his NFL career, but he's expected to compete for a starting safety spot this season, with Earl Wolff (knee) assumed to be the primary competitor. Wolff has yet to participate in OTA practices in the wake of November knee surgery, whereas Thurmond seems to have made a full recovery from the torn pectoral that cost him nearly all of 2014. Even if he wins the starting job, Thurmond is unlikely to warrant consideration in most IDP leagues, as Nate Allen recorded just 62 tackles in 15 games while playing alongside Malcolm Jenkins last season.

Thurmond (chest) is playing safety at OTAs, Philadelphia Magazine reports.

Thurmond, who signed a one-year, $3.25 million deal in the offseason, has exclusively played cornerback to this point in his NFL career. It seems Chip Kelly has an affinity for DBs that can play both safety and cornerback, as Jaylen Watkins recently made the switch to safety, and 2015 second-round pick Eric Rowe could end up at either position. With Rowe currently working at cornerback, it looks like the competition for one safety spot will include Thurmond, Earl Wolff (knee), Watkins, Chris Prosinski and Chris Maragos. At the other safety spot, Malcolm Jenkins is locked in as the starter.

Thurmond (chest) signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on Wednesday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Eugene-to-Philadelphia parade continues, as Eagles coach Chip Kelly will add yet another of his former Oregon Ducks to his talent pool. A member of the Seahawks' "Legion of Boom" during their 2013 Super Bowl run, Thurmond latched on with the Giants on a one-year deal, but never played a down in the regular season after he was placed on injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle. He should be fully healthy heading into training camp with the Eagles, and should receive the opportunity to compete for a starting job. Thurmond has primarily played in the slot during his career, but at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, he possesses the measurables to battle receivers on the outside.

The Giants placed Thurmond (chest) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Thurmond underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn pectoral muscle that he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He will need 3-to-4 months to recover from the procedure, and will not play again this season. Linebacker Dan Fox was added from the practice squad to replace Thurmond on the active roster.

Thurmond suffered a torn pectoral muscle during Sunday's game and will now miss the remainder of this season, NFL.com reports.

Thurmond's first season with the Giants will be ended after Week 2, a disappointing development for New York's recently signed starting nickel cornerback. With Thurmond out, Trumaine McBride could fill his role moving forward, while Jayron Hosley (suspension) will be eligible to return in Week 5 to provide further depth to the Giants' retooled secondary.

The Giants are optimistic that Thurmond's pectoral injury is just a strain, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Thurmond exited Sunday's game and did not return, leaving Trumaine McBride to fill in as the nickel corner.

Thurmond suffered an pectoral injury during Sunday's game against the Cardinals and will not return, the New York Daily News reports.

Thurmond made a pair of solo tackles prior to leaving Sunday's contest. With him out, Trumaine McBride has filled in as the Giants' nickel cornerback.

Former NFL personnel director Louis Riddick calls new Giants CB Walter Thurmond III "special."

The Giants were able to steal Thurmond on a one-year, $3 million contract thanks to off-field and injury concerns. "He's a dynamite press corner, who is as good with his technique as Byron Maxwell, as Richard Sherman," Riddick said. Thanks to the Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie signing, Thurmond will likely open the season as a third corner in what is now a very deep unit. He shouldn't have a problem earning a much bigger payday a year from now.

Giants signed CB Walter Thurmond III, formerly of the Seahawks, to a one-year contract.

The Giants are arguably having the best free agency period, not that that necessarily means a whole lot. Thurmond, 26, has good size at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds and can play the slot and outside. We'd tentatively expect him to start opposite Prince Amukamara. Trumaine McBride will be the No. 3 corner. Thurmond's market was likely affected by his November suspension.

Free agent CB Walter Thurmond has left his Jaguars visit and will meet with the 49ers next.

A previous report had Thurmond set to visit the Bucs and Redskins, but they may either take place later on, or have been canceled. Thurmond is our No. 2 free agent cornerback left, behind only Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Free agent CB Walter Thurmond III has visits scheduled with the Bucs and Redskins.

Free agent CB Walter Thurmond III will visit the Jaguars "within the next 24 hours."

All the former Seahawks defenders want to flock to Jacksonville to play for Gus Bradley. Thurmond was thrust into a starting role last season after Brandon Browner was suspended and handled himself well on the way to a Super Bowl title. He already has a four-game suspension on his record, which will affect his market.

ESPN Chargers reporter Eric Williams thinks the team could show interest in free agent CB Walter Thurmond III.

Williams is simply thinking out loud here, but the Chargers' need for cornerback help is no secret. The Bolts swung and missed on Derek Cox last offseason and are expected to release him. Shareece Wright is the only starting-caliber corner on the roster. Thurmond will likely be looking for a starting job after operating as Seattle's nickel corner. He's our No. 7 free-agent corner.

Seahawks activated CB Walter Thurmond III from the reserve/suspended list.

Thurmond missed for games for being popped for marijuana. Seattle's slot corner will slide right back into nickel back duties behind RCB Byron Maxwell and LCB Richard Sherman. Jeremy Lane will lose playing time.

KJR 950 Seattle's Dave Mahler hears that Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond III's four-game suspension is for marijuana.

He'll be eligible to return in Week 17. The Seahawks will likely turn to usual special teamer Byron Maxwell at right cornerback, with Jeremy Lane in the slot and Richard Sherman manning his usual left corner post. Consider Seattle a slightly more favorable matchup for opposing pass games. They still have elite safeties, Sherman, and a ferocious, deep group of pass rushers.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond will be suspended for games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Per RapSheet, Thurmond was not popped for performance-enhancing drugs like Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman last year. (They both used ADD medicine to enhance their in-game focus.) Thurmond has been Seattle's slot corner all year, and is starting with Browner shelved by a significant groin injury. Thurmond's loss is a major blow to a Seahawks defense that will now have to rely on its depth. They have Jeremy Lane and Byron Maxwell in reserve.
