Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was injured after taking a hit during a fake field goal attempt late in the second half against the Cleveland Browns. He is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return.

The Steelers decided to attempt a fake field goal from the Browns' 10-yard line with 1:45 left in the second quarter. Boswell threw a pass out of the back of the endzone and took a hit after the throw. 

Boswell was immediately taken to the locker room after being helped off the field. 

The Steelers do not have a backup kicker on the roster or practice squad. Pressley Harvin will need to kickoff without Boswell on the field. It's unknown if he'll attempt field goals as well.
