Former Pitt QB Tom Savage out with concussion, will miss NFL playoff game with Houston Texans

Former Pitt quarterback Tom Savage finally got his chance to start in the NFL this season, replacing Brock Osweiler and then being named the No. 1 option for the Houston Texans. In his time as the starter, he found success, leading Houston to a pair of wins and helping them to the NFL Playoffs.

Savage, though, won't be playing for the team in their first postseason game this weekend against the Oakland Raiders. He'll miss the contest with a concussion he suffered in the last game on New Year's Day against the Tennessee Titans. Savage was knocked out of that game and the Texans went on to lose, 24-17.
