Mularkey underwent tests, and after initially thinking he may be kept overnight, team officials later said he would be released Monday evening.
Team officials said they expect the coach to be back at work Tuesday.
"I did talk to him earlier, and it is business as usual at EverBank," defensive coordinator Mel Tucker said, filling in for Mularkey at a Monday afternoon news conference.
Tucker said he met with the players earlier in the afternoon and informed them of the situation. He said the players were "poised and patient" when they heard the news.
