Published by Bleacher Report on Mon, 11 Dec 2017


Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien minimized his role in the decision-making process that led to quarterback Tom Savage's returning to Sunday's 26-16 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers after he suffered a concussion.O'Brien said after the game that doctors evaluated Savage and cleared him to return and then pulled him out of the game after performing another evaluation, according to the Houston Chronicle's Brian T. Smith."All I do is coach," O'Brien said, per Smith.Following the second evaluation, the Texans confirmed Savage had a concussion.Savage took a big hit from 49ers defensive end Elvis Dumervil in the second quarter.

T.J. Yates replaced Savage for the remainder of the game.According to ESPN.com'sSarah Barshop, the initial concussion evaluation on Savage took fewer than three minutes.
