BJ Thompson, according to reports, is «stable» after suffering a heart attack and seizure at the Kansas City Chiefs facility on Thursday, June 6.
According to NFL Network journalist Tom Pelissero, he reported on X: «#Chiefs canceled all team activities today after the backup defender experienced a seizure at a special training meeting and went into cardiac arrest, according to sources. The team’s medical staff quickly responded, an ambulance was called, and the player is in stable condition».
The NFL also acknowledged the incident, sharing: «Chiefs canceled all team activities scheduled for Thursday. Head coach Andy Reid’s press conference and some players have been rescheduled for Friday».
Despite playing only one game in his debut season, the Chiefs defender took home the Vince Lombardi Trophy — in early February 2024 against the San Francisco 49ers — at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
Selected in the fifth round of the 2023 draft from Stephen F. Austin University, Thompson played in one game for the Super Bowl champions.
Although they had a successful start to the year, some of BJ’s teammates attracted media attention after the victory. Harrison Butker recently became popular on the internet due to a controversial speech in which he spoke about the LGBTQ+ community, the female title «homemaker», - and the «devilish lies» of abortion, surrogacy, and IVF.
«How many of you are sitting here right now, preparing to cross this stage, and thinking about all the advancements and titles you will receive in your career? Some of you may become successful in the world, but I suppose most of you are most happy about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world», - — such were the words used by the Super Bowl champion in his speech.
In addition, defender Isaiah Buggs, who was accused of animal cruelty for neglecting two dogs in Alabama, denied the charges against him. «Under no circumstances does Mr. Buggs condone animal cruelty», - — shared his agent Trey Robinson.
Speaking of a larger conflict, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashie Rice turned himself in to police in Texas in April due to an arrest warrant for multiple car collisions. The athlete took to social media to admit his mistakes. «Today I met with Dallas police investigators regarding the incident on Saturday… I fully accept responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities… I sincerely apologize to anyone affected by Saturday’s incident», - — he wrote
