    NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" that Kubiak suffered what doctors refer to as a mini-stroke when he collapsed on the Reliant Stadium sideline, according to sources with direct knowledge of the coach's condition.

    The official diagnosis is that Kubiak suffered a TIA, or transient ischemic attack, which occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery for a short time.

    "It is treatable, which seems to be the reason for the optimism when you talk to the Texans," Rapoport said.

    DaBears22's Take: Now that the doctors know what happened they can treat it. At least something like this happened instead of a fatal stroke. No word yet on how long Kubiak will be gone from the team.
