The Kansas City Chiefs player who suffered cardiac arrest this Thursday has been identified.
The reigning Super Bowl champions were forced to postpone their OTAs today following a serious medical emergency first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
According to the aforementioned source, an unnamed defensive lineman suffered a seizure and entered cardiac arrest during a special teams meeting. The team’s staff worked quickly, providing first aid. The player was then taken to hospital and is said to be stable.
Pelissero has since identified the player as BJ Thompson.
“Chiefs DL BJ Thompson is in stable condition after suffering a seizure and going into cardiac arrest during a meeting this morning, per source,” the NFL Media reporter added to his initial post.
“A fifth-round pick in 2023 out of Stephen F. Austin, Thompson appeared in one game as a rookie for the Super Bowl champs.”

The Kansas City Chiefs Have Pushed Today’s Activities Back A Day
The Kansas City Chiefs were scheduled to hold their last OTA of the week this Thursday after practices on Tuesday and Wednesday but have had to postpone the session, as well as a meeting with the media. Those have been pushed back to Friday.
Thompson, who played one game for the Chiefs last season, was a fifth-round pick out of Stephen F. Austin in 2023.
The team is expected to kick off its mandatory minicamp on June 11. It will run until June 13. They will then return to break until training camp begins in late July.
Our thoughts remain with Thompson. We wish him a speedy recovery.
