A week later, same Thursday Night, another concussion at an NFL game.
Fans were shaken last week by the way Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was left lying on the field, and tonight at the home of the Denver Broncos by the dramatic way running back Nyheim Hines he faltered and had to leave the match.
This is not looking good at all for Nyheim Hines who is being evaluated for concussion.????????#ForTheShoe | #TNF

The 25-year-old running back for the Indianapolis Colts – who won 12-9 in overtime at Denver – took a heavy hit on the game’s first drive.
Matt Ryan threw him a pass. Hines caught the ball and was trying to gain more yards when he was hit from behind by Nik Bonitto.
Hines stood up and that’s when he began to stagger. He couldn’t walk, but he was trying to make his way to the bench. His teammates and people from the team staff helped him to retire to the locker room.
Hines showed a “motor instability” on the field, so it was decided that he would not continue playing.
Said failure is part of the Cerebral Concussion protocol endorsed by the League and the NFL Players Association, and at this time it is being implemented with more force after what happened with the Miami Defines quarterback, who does not know until when He will play again, since he has even received recommendations to retire.
The Colts said their player was fine and would be evaluated.
