Nyheim Hines exits game versus Broncos with concussion

Colts running back Nyheim Hines will not return to Thursday Night Football after sustaining a concussion in the first quarter against the Broncos, according to multiple reports.

Hines sustained the frightening injury after getting hit in the back of the head on the opening drive of the game while looking to gain extra yards on a short pass from Matt Ryan. The veteran RB went down at the 14:07 mark of the quarter, and appeared wobbly after trying to stand to his feet.

Several of Hines’ teammates and members of both training staffs came to his aid on the field before he was helped to the Indianapolis sidelines. He eventually managed to walk to the locker room under his own power.
