Bears' Gabriel suffers concussion after catching 3 TDs on MNF
Taylor Gabriel's career night was cut short after the Chicago Bears wideout sustained a concussion in Monday's win over the Washington Redskins.
Gabriel caught three first-half touchdowns to set a new career high and had 75 yards before exiting the contest.
The speedy receiver snagged two short scores before making an insane toe-tapping grab for his third touchdown just before halftime:
WHAT. A. CATCH.

With a short turnaround for next Sunday's important divisional matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, Gabriel is facing an uphill battle to clear the concussion protocol.
If Gabriel can't play in Week 4, Anthony Miller will likely take on an expanded role next to Allen Robinson.
