DeKALB | NIU Associate Athletics Director Donna Turner confirmed that NIU head football coach Jerry Kill was taken to Kishwaukee Community Hospital early Sunday morning and was still being treated and hospitalized as of press time.

According to Turner, Kill was “experiencing some dehydration” which is being linked as “part of the continuing process of his recovery from the surgery last week.”

No decision has been made whether or not Kill will be available to coach the Huskies this Saturday when they take on Illinois.
