Overview

  • Morice Norris attempted a tackle late in the fourth quarter and took a knee to the side of his head, losing consciousness and displaying seizure-like movements before being immobilized and transported by ambulance.
  • After medical staff removed Norris, players from both teams declined to run another play, the clock was allowed to expire and NFL officials in New York formally suspended the game with 6:31 remaining and Detroit leading 17-10.
  • Lions coach Dan Campbell reported that Norris is breathing, speaking and moving all extremities while under observation at Grady Memorial Hospital.
  • On Saturday morning Norris posted on Instagram, writing “I’m okay,” sharing a Bible verse and thanking teammates, medical staff and supporters for their prayers.
  • The incident has prompted renewed scrutiny of NFL preseason safety measures following similar early-season stoppages for serious head and neck injuries.
