NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage left Sunday's game with the Tennessee Titans early in the second quarter and was evaluated for a possible concussion.

Savage snuck two yards for a first down on fourth-and-1 at the Houston 39-yard line on the second quarter's first play and came off the field. Newly-minted backup Brock Osweiler entered the game and finished out the drive, getting sacked on a fourth-down play at the Tennessee 34 by Daimion Stafford.

At the time of Savage's injury, the Titans owned a 7-0 lead.
