Why it matters: Head injuries in football are a serious concern, and any instance should be carefully monitored for the player's health and long-term well-being.

Yes, but: Despite the injury, Austin returned to the game and even managed to make an impact with two catches, including a touchdown.
What to watch: The Steelers medical staff will closely evaluate Austin's condition and determine if any further treatment or rest is necessary. It will be important to track Austin's progress and ensure he receives proper care following the head injury.
The bottom line: While it's encouraging to see Austin back on the field and contributing, player safety should always be the top priority, and thorough evaluation and caution are essential when it comes to head injuries in football.
