Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh abruptly left Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos a few minutes after kickoff.
Harbaugh was seen on the broadcast entering the blue medical tent on the sideline, and then he left for the locker room.
The team said Harbaugh was questionable to return to the game as he was battling an undisclosed illness. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was named the interim head coach while Harbaugh was away.
The Chargers got down the field quickly and settled for a field goal. The team also saw Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey suffer injuries on the first drive of the game.
Minutes later, Harbaugh returned to the sideline.
It’s the first time Harbaugh has coached an NFL game at Empower Field at Mile High since Oct. 19, 2014. He was with the San Francisco 49ers at the time.
