The New Orleans Saints placed tight end Coby Fleener on IR Saturday, just days after he suffered a concussion against the Los Angeles Rams.
Fleener said after the game that is was the fifth concussion of his career.
Fleener was hit hard on what some have said was a dirty hit by Rams defensive back Blake Countess in the fourth quarter. The hit ended up costing Countess a pretty penny.
Showing the NFL concussion protocol is still very much a work in progress, he ended up remaining in the game for a few plays afterward.
Fleener finishes the season with 22 receptions for 295 yards and two touchdowns.
