PISCATAWAY -- Rutgers offensive coordinator Jerry Kill suffered a minor seizure Sunday morning and remains hospitalized but is expected back with the program shortly, according to coach Chris Ash.

Ash said that Kill took a fall during Saturday's game on the sideline when a play leaked out onto the sideline and resulted in quarterback Kyle Bolin taking a late hit out of bounds.

Kill had to retire as a head coach at Minnesota in October 2015 because of symptoms from epilepsy, including seizures. He returned to Rutgers after a year away and said in May that he had been seizure-free for more than a year.

Here is what Ash said about it:

"Coach Kill had a minor medical setback," Ash announced at his weekly Monday press conference. "He is going to be fine. Saturday, early in the game after the first drive, he got tumbled up. He was really discombobulated in the first half from it and had some headaches Saturday night.

"It hasn't been confirmed or identified as the reason yet, but he had a minor seizure (Sunday) morning. But he is fine. He is still waiting to be released from the hospital. He will be back here this afternoon or tomorrow whenever he feels up to the task.

"It's a minor setback. I fully anticipate he will be back with us here shortly. No concerns about him not being able to do that. Just so we are all clear. He feels great. It's one of those things where life situations or medical situations come up with a lot of people. This happened."

Q: No concern about him coaching this weekend?

CA: "Not right now today. Unless something came from a doctor or he needed more time to recover. Right now his focus is on getting back with our football team. Our focus is on getting better with our next opponent. RIght now no one is even thinking about it."

Q: Who runs the offense in practice or a game when he is out?

CA: "The whole staff. It's a staff effort. It's always been a staff effort. As a (former) defensive coordinator, that's the way it is. We have a really good staff. A coordinator is a coordinator by title. Ultimately he has to make the final decisions. But when it comes ot practice preparation and game-planning, it's a team effort. The staff has done an outstanding job working together. The game-planning is going as normal. There haven't been any hiccups or adjustments from that point.

"Obviously because of the medical history of Jerry we've had contingency plans in place if something like this were to happen and there was a long-term situation that would cause him to miss work. Right now, we're pretty confident that's not going to be the case."

Q: Any thought of him moving off the sideline and into the coach's box once he returns?

CA: "We'll have those conversations later. Those are always in the back of my mind. We've had lengthy conversations about those issues all the way up to this point. Really the safest place on the sideline is standing behind the offense. When you watch the film, he was about seven yards out in front of the ball. As Kyle scrambled on the third-and-10 play and got hit, it actually was an Eastern Michigan player that ran into Jerry and he fell on top of another one.

"He was out actually in front of the ball. The safest place is behind. I think he figured out after that play he needs to stay behind the offense. That's what he did primarily from what I saw the rest of the game. We'll have those conversations moving forward if we feel like that's the best thing for him and for our offense."
