He added he’ll be back on Kroger Field on Saturday.

Coen was hospitalized after the “medical episode” on Sunday while he was working in the team’s football offices.

A press release from the university after he was hospitalized said that “[Coen] is currently in good condition at UK Chandler Hospital while doctors and medical personnel continue to monitor him and he is expected to be released Monday. Out of respect for his privacy and that of his family, we will have no additional comment at this time.”
