Broncos: Kubiak diagnosed with ‘complex migraine’

A “complex migraine condition” is to blame for a health incident that sent Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak to a Denver-area hospital shortly after his team’s 23-16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Kubiak underwent several precautionary tests, including an MRI and CT scan, that came back normal and received the diagnosis of a complex migraine, which causes “extreme fatigue and body weakness,” according to a release from the Broncos.

He is expected to be released from the hospital Monday afternoon, the release said.

Shortly after meeting with the media following Sunday’s game, Kubiak was taken by ambulance to the hospital while suffering from “flu-like symptoms,” Broncos vice president of public relations Patrick Smyth tweeted.

After Sunday’s game, Coach Kubiak had flu-like symptoms and was taken to a hospital as a precaution. He’s currently being evaluated.

It’s the second such occasion in which Kubiak was hospitalized on game day, the first when he suffered a “mini-stroke” while running off the field during a game on Nov. 3, 2013, as the coach of the Houston Texans.

Kubiak missed a game with the ailment before being let go by the Texans a month later. He would spend the 2014 season as the offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens before being hired as the Broncos head coach in January 2015.

In his introductory press conference with the Broncos, Kubiak addressed the health episode, saying it was a scary time and that he probably ran himself “into the ground a little bit.”

“I think I learned a lot from that. I’m doing great, I’m feeling fine. Hopefully I look OK. But I’m doing fine, I worked through that,” Kubiak said at the time. ”… I probably just ran myself down a little bit too much, but I’ve come back from it. Everybody tells me I’m doing just fine. I took a big physical this past week so I’m ready to go. I’m good.”
