Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin left Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a head injury. Maclin's head was driven into the ground hard and he stayed down on the ground. He eventually went to the sideline and was holding his head, and then went to the locker room.

Officially, Maclin was listed as questionable to return while being evaluated for a concussion.
Maclin had three receptions for 48 yards before leaving Sunday's game. He is Alex Smith's top target on offense, and has caught 36 of the 52 passes thrown his way this year, putting up 483 yards and a touchdown. He joined the Chiefs this offseason after spending the first five seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles.
He gives the Chiefs an elite target at the receiver position, something they had been lacking for some time. If he has to miss any time, it would be a big blow to a team that came into Week 6 with a 1-4 record. The Chiefs trailed the Vikings by a touchdown when Maclin left the game.
