Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman BJ Thompson was released from the hospital Monday night, four days after suffering a seizure and going into cardiac arrest, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported, per Thompson’s agent Chris Turnage.
“The family thanks everyone for their prayers and wants to especially thank the Chiefs medical and training staff for their rapid response and professionalism throughout this situation,” Turnage said in a statement.
