This is the first major health incident that we have heard about from Kubiak since he collapsed on the field during a game in 2013 while with the Houston Texans.
He did speak to the media directly after the game, and was apparently taken to the hospital after that.
We will update with any new information that we get.
Hopeful for a speedy recover for our head coach.

Kubiak’s availability Thursday is officially in question.
