PITTSBURGH -- The NFL and NFL Players Association are jointly reviewing T.J. Watt's concussion and the concussion protocol after the Steelers pass rusher entered the protocol a day after taking a hard hit early in Pittsburgh's Thursday night loss to the New England Patriots, a league source confirmed to ESPN.

Watt entered the league's concussion protocol Friday morning after he arrived at the Steelers' practice facility and reported concussion symptoms following Thursday night's game. Watt was hit in the face by running back Ezekiel Elliott's knee on the first play of the game.
