Kubiak was taken to the hospital with flu-like symptoms as a
precautionary measure following his team's 23-16 loss to the
Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. "I'm feeling much better and am
thankful for everyone's thoughts and well-wishes," Kubiak said
in a statement on Monday.
The Broncos will give Kubiak a week off while special teams
coordinator Joe DeCamillis leads the team against the Chargers
(1-4) on Thursday.
"He will be back (next) Monday," team president and general
manager John Elway told reporters while discussing Kubiak's
condition at a news conference at the team's headquarters.
The Broncos (4-1) released a statement explaining that Kubiak
underwent MRI and CT scans, both of which came back normal, and
was diagnosed with the migraine condition that caused extreme
fatigue and body weakness.
He received medication and was subsequently released.
"It's tough not being there with our team this week but I've got
great confidence in Joe D (DeCamillis), our coordinators and
coaching staff, and all of our players," Kubiak added.
"I've made a lot of positive changes health-wise in recent years
and will continue to listen to doctors. I'll be at home this
week, resting and getting healthy, and I look forward to
rejoining our team Monday."
Kubiak, 55, had a previous health scare in 2013 when he suffered
a mini-stroke at halftime of a game he was coaching for the
Houston Texans and spent two nights in the hospital.
