DENVER -- Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was taken from the sideline on a backboard Sunday after he was knocked to the ground during Bradley Roby's interception return for a touchdown.
A team spokesman said Phillips had been taken to a local hospital in an ambulance. They said he was alert and moving all extremities and would undergo further tests.
Roby intercepted a tipped pass with just over nine minutes remaining in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Chargers. As he ran up the Broncos sideline during the return, Chargers running back Melvin Gordon was blocked into Phillips, who was standing several feet back from the sideline.
