Colts cornerback Rashaan Melvin was briefly forced out of tonight’s game against the Titans after getting his brain scrambled by teammate Antonio Morrison. As you can see below, Morrison came in late to finish off a tackle but unfortunately got all of Melvin (and none of Rishard Matthews) with a nasty helmet-to-helmet shot:

The good news: medical staff made sure to evaluate Melvin for a concussion.

Concussion spotter probably got to Rashaan Melvin. Took a shot to the head and didn't look right.

The bad news: he returned to the game before halftime, because if you can rush someone back for like a minute of action, you do it.
