Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mike Vick was briefly forced from Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals after taking a blow to the head at the end of a 10-yard run.

Vick's helmet was driven into the turf on the play. He also appeared to take a knee to the side of the head.

Vick attempted to remain in the game, but was forced to leave for concussion testing by referee Ed Hochuli.

Vick returned for the next series, with the Steelers announcing that the passer simply got dirt in his eye.
