The Indianapolis Colts are once again dealing with an illness on their coaching staff.

Bruce Arians, the Indianapolis offensive coordinator who served as head coach for most of the season while Chuck Pagano was battling leukemia, has been hospitalized with an illness and will not coach today against the Ravens.

Bob Kravitz ‏of the Indianapolis Star reports that Arians missed Thursday’s practice with flu-like symptoms but was feeling good enough that he traveled with the team to Baltimore for today’s game. However, Arians fell ill again on Sunday morning and has been taken to a Baltimore-area hospital.

Arians’ illness is not believed to be serious. A Colts spokesman described Arians as “fine.”

For today’s game, assistant coach Clyde Christensen will serve as the offensive coordinator.
