Minnesota coach Jerry Kill has returned to practice, three days after checking into the Mayo Clinic to seek treatment for his seizures.

Kill says he plans to be on the sideline Saturday when the Golden Gophers play at No. 19 Michigan.

Kill had a seizure at the end of a loss to New Mexico State on Sept. 10. Kill returned to coach the next two games, a win over Miami (Ohio) and a loss to North Dakota State.

He says that he has suffered multiple seizures in the last few weeks, including one on Sunday that put him back in the hospital. But he insists that the condition is not life-threatening and that he will continue to coach while dealing with it.
