Broncos' Fangio to coach despite kidney stone

CANTON, Ohio -- Vic Fangio's game-day debut as Denver Broncos coach did not go quite as smoothly Thursday as he had hoped.

Fangio spent most of the day at a Cleveland-area hospital due to a kidney stone, sources told ESPN, but the team announced he'll coach against the Atlanta Falcons in the Hall of Fame Game.

Fangio walked into the stadium shortly before 6 p.m. ET.

Team sources told ESPN that Fangio had not passed the stone as of late afternoon, but had improved enough, and felt good enough, to coach against the Falcons.
