Chiefs' BJ Thompson Unconscious but Stable After Cardiac Arrest During Team Meeting

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman BJ Thompson remains unconscious but stable following a cardiac arrest incident on Thursday. Thompson, 27, collapsed during a special teams meeting, reportedly due to a seizure that led to cardiac arrest. His agent, Chris Turnage, updated the public on Thursday night, stating, "BJ is still unconscious at this point, but he's stable and vitals are good. His family asks for your continued prayers."

The Chiefs' medical team acted promptly, providing immediate care that was crucial in stabilizing Thompson's condition. The incident, occurring at the team facility, led to the postponement of Thursday's practice, initially scheduled as the final OTA session of the week. Thompson, a 2023 fifth-round pick from Stephen F. Austin, has appeared in one game during his rookie season. The team is expected to resume activities on Friday.
