HOUSTON -- Texans coach Gary Kubiak is out of the hospital after suffering what the team said was a mini-stroke, but theres no word on when he will resume coaching duties. The team said the 52-year-old Kubiak suffered a transient ischemic attack at halftime of Sundays loss to Indianapolis. He was released from the hospital on Tuesday and is expected to make a full recovery. "Ive been through an ordeal and my focus now is to get back to good health," Kubiak said in a statement released by the team. "Doctors have told me I will make a full recovery." Kubiak collapsed on the field and was rushed to a hospital. The Texans blew an 18-point lead without him and the 27-24 setback was the teams sixth straight loss. A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, occurs when blood flow to the brain is briefly interrupted, typically by a blood clot or narrowed blood vessels. TIAs are often called mini-strokes and can cause stroke-like symptoms including sudden dizziness, numbness, vision loss or unconsciousness, though symptoms last only a few minutes or a few hours and no permanent brain damage occurs. TIAs are often a warning sign for a future stroke. "Someone who has a real TIA has a higher risk of stroke," said Dr. Larry Goldstein, a professor of neurology and the director of the Duke Stroke Center. "The highest risk is over the next in general 90 days or so. The highest risk is relatively soon afterward, over the first few days." Goldstein said that patients who have a mini-stroke are evaluated to try to understand the cause and identify and treat any risk factors that might have led to it. "By definition a TIA is transient so the symptoms go away in a few minutes, so from a physical standpoint there should be no long-lasting consequences," Goldstein said. Former Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker had a mini-stroke in 2012. Baker, who was initially hospitalized for an irregular heartbeat, returned to manage the Reds less than two weeks after his mini-stroke. Houston didnt identify an interim coach as it prepared for Sundays game at Arizona. Defensive co-ordinator Wade Phillips, a former head coach for Dallas, took over after Kubiak was taken to the hospital and he ran Houstons practice on Monday. Offensive co-ordinator Rick Dennison likely will take over the play-calling duties if Kubiak isnt back by Sunday. The Texans dont think things will change much with Dennison calling the plays. "If hes not here, then (Dennison) can handle it," receiver Andre Johnson said. Kubiaks health problems are the latest blow to a team already in disarray in an underperforming season filled with numerous injuries and the benching of quarterback Matt Schaub. The six-game skid is tied for the longest losing streak in Texans history. Now the Texans will try to regroup and adjust to Kubiaks likely absence on Sunday. "Its been frustrating, especially after the past two seasons and the expectations," Johnson said. "But if you dont go out and play the way youre supposed to play youre not going to win. And we didnt do that so thats why we havent been winning ... somehow some way weve got to go out and fix the mistakes weve been making and try to win a game." Players said they believe Houstons assistant coaches will prepare them well for Sundays game with Kubiak out. "I think were in great hands with whoever has to step up," linebacker Joe Mays said. "Youre in great hands because we have a great group of coaches." Kubiak was the second NFL coach with a severe medical issue this past weekend. Denver Broncos coach John Fox underwent heart surgery in North Carolina on Monday after being hospitalized on Saturday. Fox felt dizzy last week and doctors recommended immediate aortic valve replacement surgery. Kubiak was hired in 2006 and is working under a three-year contract that runs through 2014. An eighth-round pick out of Texas A&M, he spent nine years as John Elways backup in Denver and has made his mark as an offensive guru and quarterbacks mentor. Vin... Carter Authentic Jersey .

By mixing jaw-dropping goals with a growing list of brushes with controversy, Luis Suarez divides opinion like perhaps no other player in world football. Since 2010, Suarezs crime sheet includes biting two opponents, racially abusing another and becoming vilified globally for a cynical handball on the goal-line during a World Cup quarterfinal. Theres also his penchant for diving that infuriates spectators and opposition managers alike. There are days, though, when fans are left shaking their heads not because of his misdemeanours but for his outrageous moments of brilliance on the field. On Thursday, the Uruguay striker was being compared with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi -- and hailed as arguably the greatest striker in Liverpools history -- after a scintillating four-goal display against Norwich in the Premier League. One of his strikes was an audacious 45-yard volley. Another was a bobbing, weaving run that ended with a fierce drive into the far corner. Another was a curling free kick from 25 yards. "They were all wonder goals, not just tap-ins," Ian Rush, Liverpools all-time top scorer, said. "You have to compare him with Messi and Ronaldo." Another striker idolized at Anfield, Robbie Fowler, added jokingly on the BBC: "I love him but Im also starting to dislike him because hes making all the ex-Liverpool strikers look very average." Liverpool has been blessed with brilliant strikers down the years. There was Roger Hunt in the 1960s, Kevin Keegan, "King" Kenny Dalglish, Rush and John Aldridge in the 70s and 80s, and Fowler in the 90s. This century, The Kop has grown to adore Michael Owen and Fernando Torres but rarely has Anfields collective breath been taken away quite like it was on Wednesday. "At times its just a case of getting the ball to him and letting him pproduce," Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen said.dddddddddddd"His goals came out of nothing, really." Fans, officials and teammates had their patience tested to the limit over the summer when Suarez publicly pushed for a transfer away from Liverpool in search of Champions League football. Two bids from Arsenal were rejected. Liverpool is reaping the benefits of its decision to play hard-ball with its best player. Suarez missed the first five rounds of the Premier League while he served the remainder of the second ban of his career for biting, but he is still the divisions top scorer with 13 goals in nine games. "When I am happy on the pitch you can see it," Suarez is quoted as saying on the website of Spanish sports daily Marca on Thursday. "I am happy in the Premier League, its the best league there is. "Luckily, I am scoring goals now to make up for the games I missed. I am getting back my confidence and helping the team. The important thing is that Liverpool finishes in the top four after a long time not doing so. I am going to help the team do so." And Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers also thinks the difficulties of the summer have been overcome. "I think he is the happiest he has been here," Rodgers said. "He flies all around the world but I think this club suits him perfectly and I still think his best years are going to be here. "The profile of the club, the connection with the supporters, you can see it is a hand-in-glove fit for him." Not everyone will want him to stay in the Premier League, though. Norwichs players, for example, cant wait to see the back of Suarez, who has scored 11 goals and three hat tricks in four games against them. "I wish Suarez would just leave us alone. Big bully," Norwich midfielder Anthony Pilkington said. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
