Denver Broncos offensive tackle Russell Okung was taken to a hospital in an ambulance Thursday night after a 21-13 loss to the San Diego Chargers.

Okung was loaded onto a stretcher and taken to the hospital with an IV. The Broncos said he experienced concussion symptoms and would undergo further evaluation.

The team announced later Thursday night that Okung was discharged and cleared to return to Denver.

Okung signed with the Broncos this offseason after a six-year career with the Seattle Seahawks.

On Sunday, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak was taken to a hospital with flu-like like symptoms after Denver's 23-16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He was diagnosed with a complex migraine condition and missed Thursday's game.
