The first drive of Thursday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers ended with a terrifying moment.
Chargers tight end Donald Parham slammed his head on the field after reeling in what would have been a touchdown pass from Justin Herbert on fourth-and-goal. It was apparently clear that he was knocked out cold when his amrs went stiff.
He was eventually wheeled out while strapped down on a stretcher with his arms visibly shaking. The Chargers later announced Parham was in stable condition and being evaluated for a head injury at the UCLA Harbor Medical Center.
On Friday afternoon, the Chargers released a second health update on Parham Jr.
“Update: Tight End Donald Parham Jr. stayed overnight at UCLA Harbor Medical Center for observation after being diagnosed with a concussion. He is resting comfortably, alert and will likely be discharged from the hospital later today.”

Through nine games this season, he had 20 catches, 190 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 26 targets.
