Steven Nelson injury update: Chiefs cornerback has concussion

The Kansas City Chiefs took another hit in the secondary with news that Steven Nelson suffered an official concussion on Friday night during the team’s road victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Nelson was taken out of the game after being hit by Atlanta Falcons receiver Austin Hooper as he leapt into the end zone for a touchdown. The head injury was later confirmed to officially be a concussion by Chiefs training staff and relayed to reporters by head coach Andy Reid.

Given the concussion, it’s going to be impossible for anyone to tell just how long Nelson could be out.
