Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth exited yesterday’s game to be checked for a concussion, and was ultimately ruled out. Head coach Mike Tomlin noted after the game that he was in the concussion protocol, though he did not explicitly state that he was diagnosed with a concussion.
If he did, it would be the second concussion he has suffered during his rookie season, which would raise concerns; by all appearances, however, he seems to be doing well. WCVB sports anchor Mike Lynch Tweeted last night that he had heard from Freiermuth’s brother, who said that Pat was actually driving the family home and that “he’s good”.
