Michael Pittman Jr. injury updates

Update: Pittman has been officially ruled out for the rest of today’s game with a concussion.

Update: Pittman took a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter of today’s contest, but was able to walk to the sideline on his own power. He has since entered the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. Steelers safety Damontae Kazee was ejected from the game following the hit.

This is another blow to the injury-riddled Colts offense as running back Zack Moss also exited the game just a few plays earlier. Pittman was already having a huge receiving day prior to his exit, hauling in four targets for 78 yards. This game is vital for Indy as it is one of several 7-6 teams in the AFC that are jockeying for position in the AFC playoff race. We should get word on Pittman’s status shortly.
