The reason for paramedics responding to the Kansas football practice fields on Aug. 8 was for a conscious but nonresponsive athlete who was being stabilized for a possible spine injury, according to a recording of the 911 call obtained by The Star through an open records request.
A KU football athletic trainer made the call, which took place late in the morning. It was the same day that KU confirmed that offensive lineman Jacobi Lott was in “stable” condition following an injury on the practice field that morning.
The trainer told the dispatcher that the injury took place at practice and also said that KU’s medical personnel were actively spineboarding the athlete.
