Steelers WR Brown returns from head injury

BALTIMORE (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown briefly left Thursday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens with a head injury.

Brown returned after passing concussion protocol.

Brown was hit by Darian Stewart in the first quarter after making a catch for an 18-yard gain. Brown got up slowly and was taken to the locker room to be examined for a possible concussion.

He returned in the second quarter and aided a late drive that set up a field goal.

Brown had five catches for 116 yards and a touchdown last Sunday in Pittsburgh’s 30-27 win over Cleveland.
