Chargers' Harbaugh briefly leaves sideline with illness
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh briefly left the sideline with an illness in the first quarter of the team's contest against the Denver Broncos.
Harbaugh told CBS Sports' AJ Ross that his exit was caused by an irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia, which he's dealt with in the past.
Harbaugh was evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room. He returned before the first quarter ended.
Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter acted as the team's interim head coach while Harbaugh was gone.
Harbaugh joined the Chargers this year after nine campaigns with Michigan. He led the Wolverines to a national championship in 2023.
The 60-year-old owns a 46-21-1 record as an NFL head coach across his time with the Chargers and San Francisco 49ers.
