SAN FRANCISCO -- Wide receiver Percy Harvin didn't collapse last week as a direct result of a migraine headache, according to Vikings head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman.

Sugarman, who along with team doctors took care of Harvin as he was down on the field, said Harvin's issues with migraines will be a "lifelong fight."

Sugarman could not go too in-depth, according to the story on the PFT website, but he said he is confident the Vikings know why Harvin passed out. The things that led to him being unresponsive included an adverse reaction to medication, dehydration and blood pressure that went too low.

Harvin spent the night in Fairview Southdale hospital but was back at Winter Park, although not practicing, on Friday.

Coach Brad Childress told Fox's Jay Glazer on Saturday he's hopeful Harvin will be able to practice this week and that medically he's already fine.
