New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson was hospitalized after Sunday's game versus the Chicago Bears.

"He's fine," Saints executive vice president of communications Greg Bensel said to Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune. "He was just a little weak and worn out."

The 90-year-old is expected to be released from hospital after further evaluation.

Benson purchased the Saints in 1985 and the Pelicans in 2012.
