No injury was announced but Hurts’ lower body did not appear impaired as he jogged to the tunnel. His right shoulder was slammed by 49ers linebacker Oren Burks as Burks and Warner tackled Hurts on a 5-yard scramble and while his head did not obviously hit the ground from all replay angles, a press box announcer did say that Hurts was being evaluated “pursuant to the concussion protocol.”
