Lions cornerback Morice Norris in concussion protocol, team will ease him back in over next two weeks
Detroit cornerback Morice Norris returned to the Lions' facility two days after he was hospitalized in Atlanta after suffering an injury in a preseason game that required him to be taken off the field in an ambulance, the Associated Press reported Sunday. Head coach Dan Campbell provided an update on the cornerback Monday, saying Norris is in the concussion protocol and the team will take it easy with him over the next 10-14 days. Norris posted and reposted encouraging updates on his Instagram account Saturday morning after he suffered a scary injury the previous night that cut short the Lions' preseason road game. He posted a story with the caption, "Amen Amen I'm all good man don't stress it appreciate all the check ins and love." Then he reposted a post from fellow Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, who included a screenshot of a FaceTime call with a smiling Norris. "My dawg [Morice] called me today," Arnold wrote in his Instagram caption Saturday morning. "Sometimes we forget how precious life is and everything. That goes into playing this game that we love but we serve an almighty... God thanks for protecting my brother." After suffering an apparent head injury early in the fourth quarter of Friday's preseason game in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Norris was taken off the field in an ambulance. Rather than continuing to play, the Lions and Falcons let the clock run before officials eventually announced the game was suspended with 6:31 remaining. The Lions announced late Friday night Norris was in stable condition with "feeling and movement in all his extremities." Norris, who signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Fresno State last year, went down on the first play of the exhibition's fourth quarter. While making a tackle, the second-year corner's head appeared to hit the leg of Falcons running back Nathan Carter. After receiving about 20 minutes of medical staff attention, which concluded with Norris being put on a backboard — with his head and neck braced — he was evacuated to an Atlanta hospital. When the clock started running again, players on the Falcons' offense and Lions' defense gathered in a circle, hand-in-hand with their heads bowed. At the time the game was called, the Lions led, 17-10. But that was on no one's mind. "Something like that happens, it puts things in perspective," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said postgame. Campbell noted he and Falcons head coach Raheem Morris agreed it didn't feel right to finish the game. Norris' social-media activity Saturday morning is a welcome sight, as is the ongoing support he receives around the league and from fans everywhere.
