Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr left their game against the Steelers early on Saturday night after a brutal hit from Pittsburgh safety Damontae Kazee.
Kazee was ejected from the game for unnecessary roughness after colliding heavily with Pittman Jr as the Colts star tried to make a diving catch in the second quarter at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Pittman’s teammates immediately surrounded him and some players on both teams took knees as trainers tended to him. He walked off the field after spending a few minutes on the ground. The Colts announced later in the quarter that Pittman had a concussion and would not return.
Pittman, the Colts’ leading receiver, had four catches for 78 yards before the hit, giving him 99 receptions for 1,063 yards this season. He fell four catches short of breaking Marvin Harrison’s franchise record for consecutive games with eight or more receptions (six).
