Michael Pittman Jr. may have a concussion. The Indianapolis wide receiver exited early during the Colts’ 28-24 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday. According to Colts beat reporter Mike Chappell, head coach Frank Reich has said the team had entered Pittman into the league concussion protocol on Monday. The rookie wideout will continue to be evaluated throughout the week and should be considered questionable for Indy’s crucial Week 17 meeting with Jacksonville. The Colts have to win on Sunday and have one of the other four AFC wild-card contenders lose to clinch a playoff spot.
The rookie receiver has been a little bit disappointing lately, averaging just 34 yards per game over his past five contests.
