Original Text

The return to the field for Seattle Seahawks star Percy Harvin was unfortunately short-lived when he suffered a head injury in the first quarter of Saturday's divisional playoff game against the New Orleans Saints.

According to the Seahawks' official Twitter account, Harvin is being evaluated for a concussion after suffering a big hit from Saints defensive back Rafael Bush:

ESPN.com's Mike Sando reported that Harvin was headed to the locker room for evaluation:

Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post observed that the Seahawks' trainer took away Harvin's helmet—usually an indicator that a player won't come back into the game:

Harvin had battled back from a nagging hip ailment to play in this critical contest at CenturyLink Field.

Tom Pelissero of USA Today does have some encouraging news, though, as Harvin ran back onto the field:

The Everett Herald's John Boyle reports that Harvin got his helmet back, hinting that his injury may not be as severe as it looked:

After playing only one game in the regular season, Seattle fans were excited to see what the team would get out of the explosive playmaker. With the speed and agility Harvin possesses, he could have proven to be an X-factor on offense and even as a returner.

Now it looks as though Harvin's status for the remainder of the postseason is at least in some jeopardy, however far the Seahawks manage to advance.
