Detroit Lions defensive back Morice Norris suffered a scary injury during the team's preseason contest versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Norris tried to make a tackle on a Falcons ball carrier and suffered an undisclosed injury. The young safety was transported off the field in an ambulance before being taken to the hospital.
Due to Norris' scary injury, the Lions and Falcons agreed to end the game early.
Norris' injury was an incredibly frightening moment, but thankfully, the Lions gave an update on his status.
The team announced in a statement on X that Norris is in stable condition and has feeling and movement in his extremities. The Lions added that Norris will stay in the hospital in Atlanta overnight.
"Morice Norris is in stable condition and has feeling and movement in all his extremities," the Lions said on X. "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."
Norris being able to feel and move his extremities is great news, especially with how frightening the injury looked in real time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Norris and his family.
