Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak returned to work Monday morning at Reliant Stadium after suffering a mini-stroke on the field at halftime against the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 3 according to the Houston Chronicle.
Kubiak is expected to be around the Texans this week in a limited fashion but no decision has been made if he will coach on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders according to defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who is serving as the team's interim head coach.
"I really don't know," Phillips said during the team's news conference. "Again, it's up to what the doctors say about Gary [Kubiak]. Obviously, if he can come back, then I won't be (interim head coach. If he can't, for whatever reason or if they don't think he's quite ready yet, then I'll be ready to go."
Having Kubiak back to coaching on the sidelines against the Raiders Sunday would certainly give the Texans a much-needed boost as they try to right the ship after losing a franchise-record seventh-straight game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
"It'd be awesome," offensive lineman Duane Brown said about the possibilty of Kubiak coaching this week. "(He's) our coach, has been for a long time. I thought Wade did a great job, stepped in last week. But having coach Kubiak would be great. It was great to see him today and hopefully he'll be back thourghout the week."
