Kansas City coach leaves stadium in ambulance after game

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid left Arrowhead Stadium in an ambulance after the Chief’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Reid was “feeling ill” after the game on Sunday and skipped his post-game press conference, according to NFL Network correspondent James Palmer. Palmer reports that Kansas City players were not aware of Reid’s condition but were told “he should be ok.”

Special teams coordinator Dave Toub filled in for Reid at the press conference after the game.

More reporting from 105.7 The Fan’s Jason La Canfora suggests Reid’s condition is not serious and the ambulance ride was precautionary. The head ball coach may just be dehydrated:

Andy Reid's removal from the stadium via ambulance is precautionary I'm told. He wasn't feeling great and was dehydrated but no serious concern about him medically
