The 60-year-old coach returned to the game with just over seven minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter served as the team’s interim head coach while Harbaugh was in the locker room.

Without Harbaugh on the sideline, the Chargers capped their first drive with a successful 20-yard field goal by kicker Cameron Dicker, giving the club a 3–0 lead in the first quarter.

Harbaugh is in his first season as Chargers head coach after serving nine years as head coach of the Michigan Wolverines.

The Chargers are currently 2-2. Los Angeles had a Week 5 bye.

Broncos CB Patrick Surtain ruled out

Surtain’s Sunday afternoon ended abruptly. The Broncos star cornerback suffered a concussion during Denver’s first defensive series. The Broncos later ruled Surtain out for the remainder of the game.

Surtain entered Week 6 with a team-high two interceptions and four passes defensed.
