Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage exited Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans in the first half and was replaced by Brock Osweiler.

Savage appeared to get injured on a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1. He was examined on the sideline by trainers before heading to the locker room for concussion evaluation.

Savage returned to the sideline moments later after being cleared, but did not immediately return to the game.

Savage replaced an ineffective Osweiler in Week 15, throwing for 260 yards in a Texans win.

Head coach Bill O'Brien announced after that game that Savage would remain starter.

The Texans have clinched the AFC South title and are locked into the fourth seed in the AFC playoffs.
