Vontaze Burfict is having a hard time learning not to make illegal hits.

He’s also struggled with taking his own head out of the game.

Burfict just left the game and was getting medical attention after dropping his helmet into the chest of Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.

He has gone back to the locker room to be checked by trainers.

Burfict’s been plagued by concussion problems as well as fines, leaving last week’s game briefly with the former, then drawing the latter for twisting the ankles of Cam Newton and Greg Olsen.

UPDATE 1:53 p.m.: They announced it as a neck injury, and said his return was questionable.
