Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid recently commented on defensive end BJ Thompson's recovery following a serious health scare last June, where he suffered cardiac arrest. Reid provided an optimistic update, stating that Thompson is making progress, although he is not yet fully recovered. The team had to release Thompson to create roster space for 16 undrafted free agents in preparation for rookie minicamps. Reid emphasized that Thompson's career is not over, and there remains a possibility for his return, potentially on injured reserve to continue his rehabilitation.
