Lions Safety Posts Encouraging Message on Social Media

Detroit Lions safety Morris Norris took to social media to share his thanks for all the well wishes he has received after being carted off the field against the Atlanta Falcons.

Early in the fourth quarter, the 24-year-old collided with Falcons running back Nathan Carter. Medical personnel attended to his apparent head injury and then transported him to a nearby hospital.

Players on both sidelines were praying and the decision was made to suspend the game.

Norris shared, after the Lions expressed he was in stable condition, "Amen, Amen. I'm all good man. Don't stress it. Appreciate all the check-ins and love.

The Lions provided an update after he was taken to the hospital, sharing, "Morice Norris is in stable condition and has feeling and movement in all his extremities. 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."

After seeing their teammate down, it was certainly difficult for the Lions and also for the Falcons to continue playing a meaningless preseason game.

Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris was praised by the Dan Campbell for being a class act and understanding the need to halt and eventually suspend the game.
