Shonn Greene returns to Jets-Steelers game after head injury

PITTSBURGH -- New York Jets running back Shonn Greene left Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second quarter with a head injury. He returned to the game to start the second half.

Greene had seven carries for 23 yards on New York's first two drives, but was removed with the Jets driving in the second quarter after he was tackled by Pittsburgh's Ryan Mundy following a 9-yard gain.

Greene was replaced by Bilal Powell then spent several minutes on the sideline being tended to by New York medical personnel before making his way to the locker room.
