'He did not look real stable': Indianapolis QB Gardner Minshew not evaluated after hit
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew II took a big hit from Cincinnati Bengals linebackers Germaine Pratt and Logan Wilson at the end of a 6-yard scramble during the second quarter of Sunday's NFL Week 14 game at Paycor Stadium, but he did not leave the game to be evaluated.
Minshew appeared to stumble as he got up after the tackle.
"I would think that Gardner Minshew the way he walked back to the huddle is gonna be checked. I'd be surprised if this snap goes off," CBS analyst James Lofton said during the broadcast. "He did not look real stable getting back to the huddle."
"I'm with you, James, on that one," play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy agreed.

Not the best look in the aftermath of what happened with TJ Watt. https://t.co/aIEV0LFzdI

Minshew got up wobbly after getting hit in the head but still in the game.
Even the announcers noted it.

Minshew takes a hit to the head. Takes an obvious stumble when getting to his feet. CBS’ James Lofton says Minshew should probably get checked for a concussion. But no one stops the game and Minshew plays on.
