Steelers QB Howard Evaluated for Head Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Will Howard is being evaluated for a head injury after reporting an issue to medical staff during Sunday's loss to the Bills.

Howard was unavailable for postgame interviews after reporting the injury during the second half of the Steelers' 28-27 defeat. The team had planned to keep four quarterbacks on their 53-player roster in final cutdowns, but if Howard has a concussion, that would clear the way for him to begin the season on injured reserve. freshyourfeel.com

The backup QB spent most of last season on injured reserve due to a hand injury. Against the Bills, Howard completed 9-of-15 passes for 69 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Drew Allar replaced him in the second half and went 9-of-18 for 88 yards.
