Steelers WR Calvin Austin III (head) ruled out vs. Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III was ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game at the Cincinnati Bengals with a head injury.

Austin took a massive hit in the first quarter from Cincinnati linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither, who was called for defensive pass interference on the play. Austin, 25, briefly left the game but returned later in the drive and caught a 23-yard touchdown on the first play of the second quarter.

Later in the game, Austin was on the receiving end of a hard hit by the Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt. During the third quarter, the Steelers said Austin was being evaluated for a head injury, and soon after he was downgraded from questionable to out.

The second-year wideout finished the game with two catches for 29 yards and a touchdown. That raised his season totals to 22 receptions for 383 yards and four TDs.
