    Kansas City Chiefs defensive end BJ Thompson was awake and "headed in the absolute right direction" Friday afternoon after the player had a seizure and went into cardiac arrest on Thursday, a team official said.

    The prognosis is good for the 25-year-old Thompson, who had the seizure at the Chiefs facility during a team meeting. He was taken to the hospital and kept sedated and on a ventilator overnight, said Rick Burkholder, the Chiefs' vice president of sports medicine and performance.
