Overview

• In the fourth quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Norris collided with Falcons running back Nathan Carter’s knee and struck his head, falling unconscious on the field.
• Medical teams immobilized Norris, loaded him onto a stretcher and transferred him by ambulance to Grady Memorial Hospital after a 20-minute on-field evaluation.
• Coaches Dan Campbell and Raheem Morris agreed to pause play, and NFL officials in New York formalized the suspension of the preseason contest with 6:31 remaining.
• Players from both teams formed a prayer circle at midfield and kneeled to let the game clock run out in a rare display of solidarity and sportsmanship.
• The Detroit Lions report that Norris is stable with feeling and movement in all extremities and will undergo further testing as the team monitors his recovery.
