UPDATE: Locker did return to the game after concussion tests in the locker room and promptly resumed making plays on the Browns defense.
UPDATE No. 2: Shortly after returning, Locker was taken off the field a second time after suffering what appeared to a separate injury. He walked off the field holding his right wrist and arm motionless.
Jake Locker overwhelmed the Browns defense in just over a quarter of play in Tennessee, but his day might be over early after taking a nasty shot to the head while sliding into the end zone.
The injury came as Locker scrambled to his left and found running room inside the 10-yard line. The mobile QB decided to make a break for the end zone and got to the goal line untouched. But as he slid across the plane, Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey caught him in the head with a forearm.
Locker stayed down after scoring the touchdown, and was then wobbly was he attempted to get up. A Titans teammate tried to help him up but Locker remained shaky. Some Titans and Browns players got into a shoving match following the shot from Kirksey, who was flagged for a personal foul on the play.
