Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. was injured in the end zone during Thursday Night Football against the Chiefs, ultimately leaving the field on a stretcher
Donald Parham:
On fourth-and-goal in the first quarter, quarterback Justin Herbert threw a dart to the second-year tight end in the end zone. But it appeared that Parham hit his head on the ground while going down to make the catch and was unable to hold onto the ball.
Medical personnel cut off Parham‘s face mask before placing the tight end on a backboard carting him off the field on a stretcher. Parham was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation, per The Athletic‘s Daniel Popper.
Current Update:
The Los Angeles Chargers tweeted later Thursday evening that Parham was in stable condition at UCLA Harbor Medical Center. He’s “undergoing tests, imaging and evaluation for a head injury.”
