Impact Thompson suffered a seizure and went into cardiac arrest in June and has yet to take the field since. It's not clear how much longer he may need to recover, but he'll be eligible to return in Week 5 against the Saints.

Will miss some time Thompson (undisclosed) was moved to the reserve/NFI list Tuesday.
Shifts to NFI list The Chiefs placed Thompson (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Thompson being placed on the NFI list to begin training camp isn't surprising, as he suffered a seizure and cardiac arrest during a team meeting back in June. Kansas City will doubtless take every precaution in Thompson's recovery as he works his way back to the practice field. He'll be eligible to return from the NFI list at any point during training camp or the preseason, once cleared to practice.
