Chargers players, staff rescued from stuck elevator

The Chargers had an unfortunate start upon their arrival in Dallas, TX as players and staff members got stuck in an elevator at their team hotel on Friday night.

According to the team statement, “several” members of the traveling party were stranded in an inoperable elevator.

Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the incident and assisted everyone, one by one, through the ceiling panel and into an adjacent elevator.

This incident occurred before their final preseason game against the Cowboys, which will kick off at 1 p.m. PT on Saturday.

It’s good to know that everyone was safe and that the local fire department got them out quickly and no one was harmed.
