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 fact that Norris has a timeline for when the Lions may start ramping things up with him suggests the injury wasn't quite as bad as it visually appeared.

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.

Lions safety Morice Norris returned to the team's facility on Sunday, two days after he was taken off the field in an ambulance following a scary hit during a preseason game against the Falcons, according to the The Associated Press.
