Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman BJ Thompson is in stable condition after suffering a seizure and going into cardiac arrest during a team meeting at the facility. His agent, Chris Turnage, visited him in the hospital and provided an update, stating that while Thompson is still unconscious, his vitals are good. Turnage also asked for continued prayers from the public.
Thompson’s medical emergency occurred during a team meeting, and the Chiefs’ medical staff acted quickly to treat him before he was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance. As a result of the incident, the Chiefs canceled their Thursday practice and will resume practice and media availability on Friday.
The defensive lineman, who was a fifth-round draft pick last year, only played in one game as a rookie. Thompson’s condition remains a concern, but it is reassuring that he is in stable condition and receiving medical care.
