Houston Texans coach collapses at game
Gary Kubiak taken to hospital at half-time
Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak was taken to hospital after collapsing at halftime during a home National Football League game against the Indianapolis Colts, the team said.
“He is conscious and his family is with him,” the Texans said in a statement.
There was no word on what caused the 52-year-old Kubiak to collapse as he was leaving the field but Houston defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who coached the team in the second half, said it had been a “shock to everyone”.
“All his vital signs are good, he did not have a heart attack but they’re still checking on him,” he said.
Kubiak was taken from the field on a stretcher and rushed to a Houston hospital.
“He was light-headed and dizzy,” Texans general manager Rick Smith said.
“He is stable. For precautionary reasons of course, we wanted to get him to the hospital and get him evaluated.
