On Friday, during the Detroit Lions’ preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, safety Morice Norris got hurt and is now in the hospital. During his press conference after the game, head coach Dan Campbell gave more information about his player’s health.
After getting hit in the head with a knee at the start of the fourth quarter, Norris had to be taken off the field by.
Norris tried to stop Nathan Carter, but he sunk too low and was hit in the lower body by the Falcons running back. A different view of the play showed that Norris’s head snapped back after being hit.
Things got worse when he fell and hit the pitch hard. His head shook. Medical staff took care of him quickly and then took him off the pitch.
Players from both teams crowded around Norris to cheer him on. Also, they let the time run out before the game was truly over.
An update on Morice Norris’s injury from Dan Campbell
Campbell was asked about Norris’ health at the press conference he held after the game. The Lions head coach repeated what the team had already said, which was that the 24-year-old safety had been taken to a nearby hospital for more tests.
Although this is bad news, Campbell did say that Norris is “breathing” and moving.
Campbell said, “I’ll have to leave it at that. He’s at the hospital.” “But obviously, you know, that kind of thing does happen; it makes you think, so we’re just praying for Morice; you know, everyone prays for him.”
When asked more about Norris’s health, he said, “He’s breathing, he’s talking, that’s good.” He can move around, so more tests are being done on him.
