Another NFL player has gone down with a head injury during Thursday Night football between the Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts — barely a week after Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion before returning to the field.
Colts running back Nyheim Hines was the recipient of a five-yard pass from QB Matt Ryan before being caught in a tackle in between D.J. Jones and Nik Bonnito, with the latter’s helmet making contact with Hines’.
At first, Hines seemed to have come out of the challenge unscathed, but he then showed clear signs of gross motor instability – similar to Tagovailoa – before leaving the field.
