Randall ejected for vicious hit on Steelers' Johnson
Cleveland Browns defensive back Damarious Randall was penalized and ejected for a ruthless helmet-to-helmet shot on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson in the third quarter of Thursday Night Football.
Johnson wobbled off the field with assistance from trainers after laying on the ground for several moments. He was then carted to the locker room and later ruled out with a concussion.

Johnson was the second Steelers wide receiver to leave Thursday because of a helmet-to-helmet hit, as JuJu Smith-Schuster suffered a concussion on one in the first half.
The Randall headshot was one of three accepted penalties against the Browns on that drive, which ended in the Steelers' first touchdown of the night. One other flag against the Browns was declined.
