Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed that Mason is currently undergoing evaluation for the injury. Steichen noted that Mason was standing on the sideline when two players engaged with each other ran into him.
"He got rolled up right on the sideline that last play," Steichen said. "So we'll see. He's getting evaluated for his knee right now."
