Lions CB Morice Norris provides encouraging update via Instagram: 'I'm all good'
Norris 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 night's preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, Norris was taken off the field in an ambulance.
Rather than continuing to play, the teams let the clock run before officials eventually announced that the game was suspended with 6:31 remaining.
The Lions announced late Friday night that Norris was in stable condition with "feeling and movement in all his extremities."

Wolves lose final pre-season friendly ahead of Premier League season
Wolves lost their final pre-season game, going down 1-0 at Molineux to Spanish side Celta Vigo. Wolves were unable to find the net, a week before their Premier League campaign gets underway at home to Man City, with Pablo Duran's second half volley claiming victory for the visitors. In the opening 15 minutes, the visitors were most threatening, as Wolves' defence were creating their own trouble. Emmanuel Agbadou's poor pass led to a Celta break, and after Ferran Jutgla found space on edge of the box, but his shot was turned by Jose Sa's fingertip full stretch. READ MORE: Why new signing Evann Guessand could miss seven Aston Villa matches READ MORE: What Evann Guessand did straight away spoke volumes as teenager shines in front of 67,000 at Marseille New Molineux signing David Moller Wolfe took a heavy challenge from Javi Rueda inside the Wolves box moments later and needed treatment, but then Lopez went on a great run through the heart of the Celta midfield and defence. Against his former side, the forward squared a pass to fellow summer signing Jhon Arias inside the box who took a touch to create space before lashing an effort straight at Ionut Radu. Molineux burst into song on the 18th minute in honour of fallen Wolves hero Diogo Jota, who tragically died in July. Later, a lapse at the back allowed Rueda to bear down on goal with just Matt Doherty and Sa in his way, but the Irishman got in a block. Moments later, Toti had Sa back-pedalling as his header fooled the keeper and almost crossed the line but he was able to dive on it. Rueda was causing difficulties for Wolfe and Toti down the Celta right and it was his cross to the far post which looked to have created a goal as it passed over Sa's head on its way to Jutgla who was yards out from goal, but Doherty was able to put his head in where it hurts. Wolves began to show their teeth as the game approached half-time, with Ki-Jana Hoever putting in a good cross and his ball was heading towards Jorgen Strand Larsen, but Radu dived off his line to gather at the feet of the Norwegian. Moments later Wolfe curled a cross towards the far post and his fellow countryman but, with his back to goal, Strand Larsen was unable to trouble the keeper with his flicked header. The second half took a while to get going with both sides trying to create opportunities without really troubling the keepers. Hoever tried to find a gold shirt inside the box, but overhit his cross, before moments later, fresh on as a half-time sub for Wolfe, Hugo Bueno had a chance to stretch his legs down the left for Wolves, but his cross towards Strand Larsen was cut out by former Bournemouth keeper Radu. But just before the hour mark, their opposition opened the scoring. Fran Beltran found space and after floating a pass to Duran, who got between Agbadou and Doherty, he hit a sweet volley on the turn which Sa got a hand to, but not enough to stop the ball finding its way into the net. Wolves had an opportunity to equalise as Lopez raced away from three challenges before laying a pass into the path of Hoever who cut a cross back towards Arias on the edge of the box, but the pass was cut out with a sliding challenge. Agbadou almost headed Wolves level when he met a Jean-Ricner Bellegarde corner, but Radu got a strong hand to the ball to keep out the header. Bueno picked out Strand Larsen with a cross minutes later, but the striker could not get enough purchase on his header. Celta had a chance to go two ahead after Jones El-Abdellaoui pushed Bueno off as the pair raced towards the Wolves box, and after creating space he could only turn the ball wide of Sa's post. Wolves almost combined for an equaliser in the dying moments as Sasa Kalajdzic was played into space, and instead of going for goal, the Austrian tried to cut the ball back for Marshall Munetsi but he was crowded out.

'Work to do; great start': Colchester United fans have their say on Oldham draw
COLCHESTER United drew 1-1 with Oldham Athletic in their second League Two game of the new season. Jack Tucker gave the U's an early lead at Boundary Park but Josh Hawkes' equaliser meant the spoils were shared, on Saturday afternoon. Colchester had more than 350 supporters at the League Two clash - here are some of their views on their side's second successive draw. Doug No attacking midfielder leaves your defensive midfielders playing right on the centre backs with a huge amount of space in front of them for the opposition to exploit and Oldham did that 2nd half. Only heroic defending kept them at bay. Hopefully Payne is back to fill the hole. (Image: RICHARD BLAXALL) Georgina Davies It went downhill once they scored, don't know what happened to the midfield. Even when we finally made the changes it didn't change, onto Saturday Mylocolu Great start but we dropped off. It was really poor until Samson a jack came onto the pitch a lot of work to do. Onto Oxford (Image: RICHARD BLAXALL) Dave B Midfield overran too often. Bishop, Anderson, and Williams absolute passengers sadly. Teams are wise to stop us from getting the ball to Edwards on the counter. Looked a little toothless, but fair play to Tucker and Flanagan for their defensive work Looked good for 20mins then got battered by long balls & throws v lucky to escape with a draw (Image: RICHARD BLAXALL) Betson Worst I've seen us for a long time after the first 20. No cohesion whatsoever, disjointed press (when we did), lots of work to do. Si Collinson Great start with the intensity that we finished with last week. Should have/could have got a second before their goal. Second half we were backs to the wall but defended well. Jack Tucker was fantastic.

Yankees' Amed Rosario lands on IL, expects to miss the minimum 10 days
The Yankees have lost another of their trade deadline acquisitions. Amed Rosario has been placed on the 10-day IL with a left SC joint sprain. Rosario collided with the left field wall on Friday, and it appears he'll have to miss some time. The speedster did tell reporters that he expects to be able to return after the minimum 10 days, though, which is certainly encouraging news. Rosario has appeared in just four games since being acquired from the Washington Nationals, going 3-for-7 at the plate with a double and an RBI over that span. Outfielder Austin Slater is also currently sidelined with an injury and reliever Jake Bird is down in Triple-A after struggling mightily in his first few outings, leaving New York without three of their new pickups. In a corresponding roster move, catcher J.C. Escarra has been recalled from Triple-A. Escarra has served as New York's No.2 backstop this season, but he was sent down to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week to make room for Slater.
