Andrew Sendejo in concussion protocol after hard hit

Andrew Sendejo was taken into the locker room for examination after a collision with Michael Thomas in the third quarter of Sunday’s NFC divisional playoff game between his Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints.

Thomas was running a route when he collided with Sendejo, who took the worst end of things:

A flag was initially thrown on the play, but the referees decided not to call anything after realizing there was no penalty.

Sendejo had four tackles and an interception before that collision. FOX later reported that he was in concussion protocol after the hit.
