Rams' Sammy Watkins, Tavon Austin placed in concussion protocol

Los Angeles Rams receivers Sammy Watkins and Tavon Austin were both evaluated for possible concussions late in Thursday night's 41-39 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Sean McVay said.

Watkins was having a big game, with six catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns, when he left with about seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

He was evaluated in the medical tent on the Rams' sideline before heading to the locker room.

Austin left the game shortly after and also was placed in concussion protocol, McVay said.
