Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians was released from a San Diego hospital on Wednesday morning. Arians and the Cardinals are in southern California for a joint practice with the San Diego Chargers.
Before Tuesday night's session at Qualcomm Stadium, Arians complained of stomach pains. He was taken by ambulance to UC San Diego's Hillcrest medical center. He underwent multiple tests and doctors determined his condition, which was not made public, is not serious.
Team officials say Arians is resting at the team hotel. It is unknown if he will be attending Wednesday afternoon's dual practice at the Chargers' practice facility. After Arians went to the hospital, both teams met at midfield and Chargers Head Coach Mike McCoy said a few words before practice started.
"We wish him all the best and a speedy recovery," said McCoy, who has known Arians for several years. It was McCoy and Arians who set up the dual practice.
The 63-year-old Arians has had no health problems since taking over in Arizona prior to the 2013 season. He did miss a playoff game in 2012 when he was offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts.
Cardinals assistant head coach Tom Moore oversaw the practice for Arizona. The teams split in to two sides of the field with the Cardinals offense taking on the Chargers defense and vice versa. Both teams said the practice was beneficial, with none of the scuffles we often see when two teams get together. Whether or not that's the case on Wednesday remains to be seen.
"I Imagine you'll get maybe a little more salt tomorrow," said Rivers after Tuesday's workout. "I thought it was good. Guys competed but it was clean. I think both sides respected each other and were able to get something out of it."
