— -- DENVER --  Broncos coach Gary Kubiak was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure following Sunday's game with what the team called "flu-like symptoms.''

Kubiak was feeling better and was expected to be released from the Denver-area hospital on Monday, a team official told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Broncos, who are "encouraged" with Kubiak's medical tests, are expected to make a decision later Monday on whether he will be able to coach Thursday night against the Chargers.

Kubiak coached through the end of the Broncos' 23-16 loss to the Falcons even though he had felt ill during Sunday's game, according to team officials. Kubiak did his customary news conference following the game and walked back into the locker room.

Kubiak continued to feel ill, however, and was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

In 2013, Kubiak suffered what was described as a mini-stroke at halftime of a game against the Colts. He spent two nights in the hospital after that incident.
