Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh was ruled questionable to return due to illness before returning to Los Angeles’ Week 6 contest against the Broncos.

Harbaugh entered the Chargers’ medical tent during the first quarter. He walked toward the locker room, per ESPN’s Field Yates, but then returned to the team's medical tent.

Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter served as interim head coach in Harbaugh’s absence.

Roughly 10 minutes after the Chargers announced Harbaugh was questionable, however, the first-year coach returned to the sidelines.

The Chargers were three-point favorites (-105) to win Sunday’s matchup. Los Angeles is +115 to make the postseason and -140 to miss the playoffs for the second straight year.
