The Detroit Lions have announced some positive developments for defensive back Morice Norris, who was injured in Friday night’s preseason win in Atlanta.
Norris suffered a head injury while making a tackle early in the fourth quarter. He immediately collapsed to the turf and lay motionless for several minutes while EMTs tended to him. Norris left the field immobilized on a stretcher in an ambulance that rushed him to a nearby hospital.
A couple of hours after the game ended, the Lions released an official statement and update:
Morice Norris is in stable condition and has feeling and movement in all his extremities. He will remain at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta overnight for observation.
We would like to thank the Atlanta Falcons organization, the EMS team at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the doctors and staff at Grady for their support.
That’s positive news on a very scary situation.
