Detroit Lions' Morice Norris injury raises memories of similar recent NFL incidents
The sight of Detroit Lions safety Morice Norris being carted off the field during a preseason game at Atlanta on Friday night raised memories of several recent similar incidents occurring in both NFL preseason and regular-season outings. The most frightening happened in January 2023 when Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated on the field after attempting to make a routine tackle during the first quarter of a regular-season game at Cincinnati. The last time a preseason game was stopped before completion actually happened in consecutive weeks in August 2023. New England's game at Green Bay in Week 2 of the 2023 preseason was called off when Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden was carted off in the fourth quarter. Bolden appeared to collide with teammate Calvin Munson while attempting to make a hit on a pass completion to Malik Heath of the Packers. Bolden was taken to a hospital and released the next day. A week later, a game between Miami and Jacksonville was not completed after Dolphins receiver Daewood Davis was carted off in the fourth quarter. Davis was hurt when he ran a slant route and was attempting to catch a pass and he was hit by Jaguars linebacker Dequan Jackson. Davis was released from the hospital a day later. The two frightening injuries happened some eight months after Hamlin was injured in front of a national TV audience on 'Monday Night Football.' Hamlin has since become an advocate for CPR training and having automatic external defibrillators available at community centers and youth and high school sporting events. ___ AP NFL:

HBCU prospects eye opportunity in 2025 NFL Draft
Several HBCU football players will seek to begin their NFL journeys this weekend as the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Players from a myriad of colleges and universities hope to potentially hear their names called in the latter rounds of the draft on Saturday, despite the struggles for HBCU football players to secure selections in the league's annual event in recent years. The 2024 NFL draft marked the second time in four years – the 2021 NFL draft – that no players from HBCUs were selected during the event's seven rounds. In 2023, the New England Patriots selected former Jackson State cornerback Isaiah Bolden at No. 245 in the seventh round of the NFL draft. In the 2022 draft, four HBCU players were selected. They include Fayetteville State's Joshua Williams (Kansas City Chiefs, 4th round, No. 135), South Carolina State's Decobie Durant (Los Angeles Rams, 4th round, No. 142), Jackson State's James Houston IV (Detroit Lions, 6th round, No. 217) and Southern University's Ja'Tyre Carter (Chicago Bears, 7th round, No. 226). When adding in Tennessee State's Lachavious Simmons (7th round, No. 227) to the Bears, only eight players from the HBCU ranks have been selected in the last five NFL drafts. However, after this year's postseason bowl games and showcases like the HBCU Combine and the HBCU Legacy Bowl, here are 10 players to keep an eye on for the next three days, according to FCS Football Central draft analyst Gerald Huggins. Robert McDaniel, Jackson State, SafetyElijah Williams, Morgan State, Defensive LinemanCarson Vinson, Alabama A&M, Offensive LinemanIrv Mulligan, Jackson State, Running BackAaron Smith, South Carolina State, LinebackerKenny Gallop Jr., Howard, SafetyJames Burgess, Alabama State, CornerbackPhillip Webb, Jackson State, Defensive LinemanCarlvainsky Decius, Morgan State, Defensive BackKendall Bohler, Florida A&M, Defensive Back Some other signature names to watch for over the weekend include Virginia Union running back Jada Byers, Florida A&M tight end Jeremiah Pruitte, and Prairie View defensive end Fred Stokes Jr. Round 1 of the NFL draft will begin at 8 p.m. ET with the first 32 selections. Rounds 2 and 3 will take place on Friday, starting at 7 p.m. ET, followed by Rounds 4-7 beginning at noon ET on Saturday.
