Ref Injured on Harvin Kickoff Return

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Back judge Richard Reels was injured on Percy Harvin's 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown late in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Vikings tight end Jeff Dugan collided with Reels at about the Pittsburgh 15 yard-line with 6:09 to play and Harvin about to cross the end zone to cut the Steelers' lead to 20-17.

Reels was attended to by medical personnel for several minutes, but walked off the field under his own power.
