Steelers’ Austin ruled out after helmet slams turf

NFL

CINCINNATI — Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III was ruled out with a head injury midway through the third quarter of Sunday’s 44-38 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Austin’s helmet made hard contact with the turf after he snagged a 6-yard pass from Russell Wilson and was tackled by Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt in the final seconds of the second quarter.

On the Steelers’ first offensive play of the game, Austin was also drilled by Bengals linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither. Davis-Gaither was flagged for pass interference on the play.

Austin returned the next series and finished his day with two catches on two targets for 29 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter.
