Raiders coach Lane Kiffin has been hospitalized with a viral infection, according to Jerry McDonald of InsideBayArea.com.

Public relations director Mike Taylor told McDonald that Kiffin had been feeling ill for "a couple of days."

Kiffin is the youngest coach in the NFL, and is preparing for his first season as a head coach.

The AP has an update on the situation.

According to Knapp, Kiffin presided over meetings Sunday night and was present when the coaching staff reviewed Saturday's 27-23 preseason win over Arizona. But his condition worsened overnight and Kiffin, 32, was taken to the Queen of the Valley Medical Center for observation.

A spokeswoman for the hospital said it was policy not to give out information on the condition of patients. The spokeswoman also declined to confirm or deny whether Kiffin was being kept overnight.

Kiffin looked fine after the win over Arizona, but the team canceled a scheduled conference call between the coach and reporters on Sunday.

It seems unlikely it's anything too serious, but I guess in this day and age, you never know. Knapp and Rob Ryan are running practices in his absence.
