Brandin Cooks will travel to Pittsburgh to see a concussion specialist, according to Sean McVay.

Cooks has suffered four concussions since Super Bowl LII and two in the last month.

"He's feeling good," McVay said. "He's very aware of what's going on and he can talk about what occurred pre-concussion. He's aware . ... We are going to send him to a specialist. He's actually on his way there in Pittsburgh. I'm trying to see if we can get a little bit more clarity, because most important is Brandin Cooks as a human being right now, not necessarily the football player. Let's get a better idea of what's exactly is going on, so that we can at least make the best decision for him moving forward. Hopefully, being able to do that will give us some answers we'll find more information about that."

James Conner suffered an AC joint injury on Monday night and left Heinz Field with his right arm in a sling.

Conner rushed 23 times for 145 yards and a touchdown in the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.

He was injured near the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter.

The Steelers could have issues at running back against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. In addition to Conner's injury, Benny Snell is being evaluated for a knee injury. Jaylen Samuels is coming back from arthroscopic knee surgery performed less than a month ago.

Ron Rivera said after the Carolina Panthers' 51-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday that Cam Newton is still recovering from his foot injury.

Newton has missed the last five games with a left foot sprain.

"Cam is still rehabbing," Rivera said. "I'll tell you guys where he is [status-wise] on Monday. I'll tell you where he is on Wednesday."

Kyle Allen has played well in Newton's absence.

J.J. Watt is done for the season after suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Sunday's victory over the Oakland Raiders.

The Houston Texans feared the injury was serious, according to sources.

"This game can be beautiful and it can also be brutal," Watt tweeted. "Absolutely gutted that I won't be able to finish the season with my guys and give the fans what they deserve. I truly love this game and can't stand letting you guys down. Thank you for all of the thoughts & well-wishes."

Watt appeared to injure his pectoral muscle while tackling Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs for a 6-yard loss in the second quarter. Watt left the field for the Texans' blue medical tent before running to the locker room.
