But on Monday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell shared with reporters that Norris is in concussion protocol, and that they'll "take it easy" on him for the next couple weeks.

The 24-year-old was hospitalized in stable condition late Friday after being attended to for about 20 minutes by medical personnel at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during a preseason game against the Falcons.

Detroit Lions defensive back Morice Norris was carted off the field with what appeared to be a neck injury early in the fourth quarter Friday.
