Wade Phillips was released from a Denver-area hospital Sunday night after the Broncos defensive coordinator was taken from the sideline on a backboard during the team's 27-19 win over the San Diego Chargers.

Phillips was knocked to the ground during cornerback Bradley Roby's interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter. He was strapped to a backboard following the play as a precaution and taken to a local hospital.

"Everything I've heard is he's great," Gary Kubiak said. "He's fine, he's upbeat, he watched the end of the game. We've been in contact with Lori, his wife. He talked to me before he left the field."
