Colts' Michael Pittman Jr. Ruled Out After Concussion Relapse
Despite clearing protocol, top receiver experiences additional symptoms, casting doubt on future game participation.
- Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons after experiencing additional concussion symptoms.
- Pittman, the Colts' top receiver with 99 receptions this season, sustained a brutal hit in last Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, leading to the ejection and subsequent suspension of safety Damontae Kazee.
- Pittman cleared the NFL's concussion protocol on Friday but began experiencing additional symptoms after the team's arrival in Atlanta.
- Pittman stated he does not remember the hit and believes Kazee was 'headhunting' but did not intend to cause a life-changing injury.
- Despite clearing the concussion protocol, Pittman's participation in future games remains uncertain as he may have to progress through the protocol again.
