Chiefs defensive lineman BJ Thompson remains unconscious after experiencing cardiac arrest on Thursday, though he is in stable condition at a local hospital.
Chris Turnage, Thompson's agent, shared some updates about his condition on Thursday night.
"BJ is still unconscious at this time, but he's stable and his vitals are good," Turnage informed NFL Media. "His family requests your continued prayers."
The Chiefs had to postpone practice on Thursday after Thompson suffered a medical emergency at the team facility. The 27-year-old experienced a seizure that led to cardiac arrest during a special teams meeting, according to NFL Media. Reports indicate that the Chiefs' trainers and medical staff responded promptly, enabling Thompson to receive immediate treatment.
Thompson, a 2023 fifth-round pick from Stephen F. Austin, played in one game during his rookie season.
The Chiefs were scheduled to conclude their final offseason training activity (OTA) of the week after practicing on both Tuesday and Wednesday. However, due to the incident, the Chiefs postponed all Thursday activities to Friday.
The Chiefs also have a mandatory minicamp scheduled for June 11-13. Following the minicamp, the team will break until training camp begins in late July.
