Colts' Michael Pittman clears protocol, will play vs. Raiders

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. cleared the NFL's concussion protocol on Friday and is expected to return for Sunday's key matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

The news comes one week after Pittman cleared the protocol requirements, only to revert back to the protocol on Saturday after experiencing a relapse of concussion symptoms after arriving in Atlanta for a game against the Falcons.

It was an odd set of circumstances, with the Colts preparing for the game under the assumption they would have their top receiving target only to have plans change less than 24 hours before kickoff.
