Arian Foster raised some questions about the NFL’s concussion policy when he exited Thursday’s Houston Texans-Indianapolis Colts game for a play after taking a hit to the head and then quickly returned to the contest.
On a first down run in the second quarter, Foster carried on a rush attempt and took a hard hit to the head from D’Qwell Jackson. Foster walked off the field woozy with a trainer at his side.

Foster sat out a play and then returned immediately after, rushing for no gain. The Texans settled for a field goal on the drive.
Fans were incredulous that Foster could have suffered a head injury that took him out for a play and was allowed to return. He was later taken into the locker room for evaluation, and he was angry about the further examination.
