On Saturday afternoon, Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia confirmed that backup quarterback Tom Savage is currently in concussion protocol.

Savage left Thursday’s preseason game against the New England Patriots after getting thrown to the grown. Video replay appears to show Savage’s head bouncing violently off the new Ford Field turf:

Savage has a long history of concussions, including at least three brain injuries suffered in the last four years.
