The team said it was doubtful Harbaugh would return to the game as he was battling an undisclosed illness. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was named interim head coach while Harbaugh was away.

The Chargers quickly got onto the field and settled for a field goal. The team also saw Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey suffer injuries on the first drive of the game.

It will be the first time since Oct. 19, 2014, that Harbaugh has coached an NFL game at Empower Field at Mile High. He played for the San Francisco 49ers at the time.

Harbaugh took over as the team’s head coach after leading the University of Michigan to a college football national championship.
