Kansas City Chiefs' defensive end BJ Thompson, aged 25, suffered a seizure and cardiac arrest during a meeting at the practice facility, but is now awake and making improvements according to Rick Burkholder, the team's vice president of sports medicine and performance. Thompson was placed on a ventilator and heavily sedated overnight before being brought out of sedation, with Burkholder stating that he is alert and 'headed in the absolutely right direction.' The incident led the Chiefs to cancel practice and media availability, with Thompson being drafted by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
