Harvin, who is playing in just his second game this season following hip surgery, was first left woozy after an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit. Harvin was taken to the locker room for a concussion test and returned just ten minutes later and was ready to play again.

Later in the first half, Harvin leaped for a pass in the endzone and had his head slammed to the turf by a defender. Once again, Harvin was dazed and had to be helped off the field. However, this time it was determined that he would not return in the second half.
