“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,” Chris Turnage, of United Athlete Sports Agency, said in a statement to the NFL Network.

Thompson was immediately attended to by medical staff on site and reportedly taken away in an ambulance. Harrison Butker was said to have been one of the first people to attend to Thompson.
