Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman B. J. Thompson is currently in stable condition after experiencing cardiac arrest during a team meeting yesterday. The 25-year-old player was swiftly attended to, and the Chiefs made the decision to cancel practice for the day following the incident.

Thompson was promptly taken to a medical facility via ambulance, where his condition was closely monitored. His agent provided an update last night, stating that although Thompson remains unconscious, he is in a stable condition with positive vital signs. The player's family has requested continued support and prayers during this challenging time.

Heading into his second season with the Chiefs, Thompson had limited playing time last season, appearing in just one game. The sudden health scare has undoubtedly shaken the team and fans alike, with many rallying behind Thompson and hoping for his swift and full recovery.
