Chargers players crawl through ceiling panel to escape stuck hotel elevator
DALLAS — Several Los Angeles Chargers players and other members of the traveling party crawled through a ceiling panel to escape a stuck hotel elevator Friday night.
The NFL said on social media that around 7:30 p.m., Dallas firefighters helped people in the elevator get through the ceiling panel to an adjacent elevator.
“The Los Angeles Chargers thank the Dallas Fire Department for their quick response, professionalism and tremendous efforts to keep everyone safe,” the team said.
The Chargers are scheduled to end the preseason Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Los Angeles will open the regular season at home on September 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
