Indianapolis Colts wideout Michael Pittman Jr. suffered a concussion after a scary hit on Saturday.

Kazee was flagged on the play and eventually ejected for the hit. He did appear to lead with his shoulder rather than helmet, but Pittman's defenseless nature and the brutality of the hit likely played a factor.
Pittman walked off under his own power, then went back to the locker room after initially heading toward the blue tent on the sideline.
Pittman, 26, had been enjoying a solid outing up to that point, recording four catches on five targets for 78 yards, including a 42-yarder.

Kazee, 30, led Pittsburgh with five tackles (four solo) at halftime as Indianapolis led 14-13.
