New York Giants safety Deon Grant was taken to the locker room with a head injury during the second half of Sunday's playoff game against the Green Bay Packers.

Grant passed the mandatory concussion tests on the sidelines. But an announcement was made late in the third quarter that he was being taken to the locker room for further observation.

Packers fullback John Kuhn was questionable to return after he was taken to the locker room with a knee injury.

Kuhn was hurt on Green Bay's scoring drive that cut New York's lead to 20-13. Trainers worked on him on the sideline before he was taken off the field on a cart with 3:50 left in the third quarter. The Packers did not specify which knee.

Kuhn scored Green Bay's only touchdown of the game, an 8-yard catch that tied the game at 10 at the start of the second quarter.
