Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak, 52, collapsed as he was walking off the field at halftime of the team’s game with the Indianapolis Colts.
Kubiak was put on a backboard and stretcher and sent to a hospital, though the team would not identify which one to NBC.
Texans assistant coaches were told that taking Kubiak to a hospital was a precautionary measure and that he did not have a heart attack, NBC reported. He did not lose consciousness and his
family was with him at the hospital.
“He had an episode; he was light-headed and dizzy,” Houston general manager Rick Smith said in an interview on NBC. “He was evaluated by a number of specialists … he is awake and coherent.
“We have to assess … obviously, there’s a lot of info,” Smith said. “Hopefully, Gary will be back with us tomorrow.”
