After Suffering Concussion, Calvin Austin III Says He’ll Play Against Browns

Despite being concussed in Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III won’t miss a game. Speaking to reporters Friday, Austin said he expects to play in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns, per the Trib’s Chris Adamski.

Austin took two hard shots in the win, the first coming on the Steelers’ initial snap of the game. He briefly left the game but returned. Later, Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt hit him hard on a sideline reception, knocking Austin out of the game for good. Before leaving, he caught his second touchdown in as many weeks, a 23-yard snag down the middle of the field.
