The Lions have shared good news regarding safety Morice Norris, after a serious injury resulted in his departure from Friday night’s preseason game by ambulance.
“Morice Norris is in stable condition and has [feeling and movement in all his extremities](https://x.com/Lions/status/1954023651423977474),” the team said in a statement. “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.”
The injury happened on the first play of the fourth quarter. The game continues, with a single snap and the players from the Lions and Falcons gathering in a circle, holding hands, and bowing their heads.
It was a stark reminder of the risks that pro football players assume.
Norris, 24, signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent in 2024. He appeared in two regular-season games as a rookie.
