Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Oakland Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward- Bey was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers after taking a hit to the head.

Heyward-Bey suffered the injury while trying to make a catch in the end zone on a deep pass over the middle.

As the ball was getting to the receiver, the Steelers' Ryan Mundy lowered his head and struck Heyward-Bey in the jaw with the top of his helmet.

Heyward-Bey immediately fell to the ground motionless and had to be carted off the field on a stretcher after medical personnel tended to him for several minutes.

He was responsive and gave a thumbs up to the crowd as he was leaving.
