Vic Fangio's first appearance as an NFL head coach was almost delayed by a kidney stone.
Fangio is expected to coach in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Atlanta Falcons after spending a good part of Thursday in a Cleveland hospital, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Fangio has not yet passed the stone but is doing better, the source said.
The 60-year-old Fangio is set to make his head-coaching debut with the Denver Broncos after 32 years as an assistant.
He has said he doesn't want to use a lot of stuff in the preseason, preferring to test his young players and see what they've got.
