"Higgins reported concussion-like symptoms following the team's 39-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Higgins was evaluated in the team's injury tent twice and cleared both checks, enabling him to return and finish the game. The sixth-year wide receiver took a couple of hard falls on a cold and snowy day at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium. Higgins lobbied to stay in the game and indicated that he was OK to play."
"However, that changed hours later. Taylor said that Sunday night and Monday morning, Higgins said he was experiencing symptoms. "We'll put him back in the protocol and we'll go through that this week," Taylor said. Higgins' return to the protocol comes just two weeks after he appeared to suffer a severe head injury in a Nov. 23 game against the New England Patriots."
