The first game back from the bye week has quickly turned into a nightmare for the Los Angeles Chargers. Head coach Jim Harbaugh left the sideline early during the Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos in the first quarter with what is now being reported as an illness.

In Harbaugh's place, defensive coordinator Jesse Minter will take over the head coaching duties for the rest of the game.

Update: Harbaugh returned to the sidelines later in the first quarter.
