After starter Brock Purdy went down, Johnson came in but ended up with two concussions and a brain bleed that sidelined him badly. The first hit came on a second play, a sack by Hayson Reddick that slammed his head into the ground. He shook it off and kept playing into the third quarter, when Namukong Sioux delivered another blow. Side lines has failed and a referee stepped in to pull him from the game. For someone with over a decade in the NFL, without a single concussion before, this was a huge shock.
