Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman BJ Thompson is “awake and responsive” after suffering a seizure and cardiac arrest in a team meeting.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thompson, 25, was taken to hospital on Thursday following a Chiefs meeting.<\/p>\n

“He’s headed in the absolute right direction,” said Rick Burkholder, the Chiefs’ vice president of sports medicine and performance on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Our players, our security staff, everybody involved, coaches and staff, they were phenomenal in handling the crisis.”<\/p>\n

The Chiefs cancelled a scheduled practice session after the medical emergency, with head coach Andy Reid and players delaying media sessions until Friday.<\/p>\n

Thompson, selected in the fifth round of last year’s NFL Draft, played in one game for the Super Bowl winners last season.<\/p>\n

He was part of the Chiefs team that visited the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl title last week.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs are currently in their off-season training programme and will begin a mandatory mini-camp on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
