Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman exited Thursday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers late in the third quarter due to an apparent head injury.
Tillman hauled in a 4-yard reception on the final play of the third, but he took a big hit to the side of the head near the end of the play. Since Cleveland was facing a third-and-5, Tillman shrugged off the hit to try and get a first down, but he still came up short.
When Tillman tried to stand up after he was tackled, his legs wobbled and he lost his balance, and team trainers quickly took him into the blue medical tent.
Tillman had two catches for 28 yards prior to his departure. He also lost a fumble.
Entering Thursday, the 24-year-old Tillman had 27 catches for 311 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games (five starts) this season.
