Jets' Davante Adams being evaluated for concussion after big hit vs. Texans, heads to locker room

Adams appeared to suffer a head injury

by · CBS Sports

With his team trailing late in the third quarter and facing a fourth down near midfield, New York Jets wideout Davante Adams unleashed a vintage, absolutely wicked stutter-and-go move to beat Houston Texans cornerback Kamari Lassiter for a big gain up the left sideline. 

He took a big hit at the tail end of the play, though, and appeared to land on his shoulder while his head slammed into the ground.

Adams remained down on the field for several moments following the play, and was eventually helped to his feet and then into the blue medical tent on the sideline. He was joined in the tent by the independent neurologist, according to the Amazon Prime broadcast, indicating that he was undergoing a concussion evaluation. The Jets confirmed he's being evaluated for a concussion.

Adams could later be seen jogging without his helmet toward the Jets locker room.
