Chargers Provide Update On Donald Parham Jr. Following Scary TNF Moment

Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. was the subject of an incredibly scary moment during Thursday Night Football.

During the first drive, Parham hit the ground awkward when trying to come down with a TD catch. Cameras showed him seemingly knocked out during the play, and he was carted off shortly thereafter as teammates and opponents looked on in fear.
