He was then treated by medical staff for several minutes before being placed in an ambulance and transported to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.

Given the seriousness of the injury, both teams agreed to let the clock run out, and the game was halted with 6:19 remaining in the fourth quarter, with the Lions ahead 17-10.

The 24-year-old Norris joined the Lions last offseason after going undrafted. He spent most of his rookie campaign on Detroit’s practice squad before being promoted to the active roster on December 28.

Norris, who wrapped up his college career at Fresno State, appeared in his first NFL regular season game in Week 17, playing 20 snaps on special teams. He logged his first defensive snap in the regular season during Week 18 and recorded his first career tackle in the Lions’ NFC divisional round loss to the Commanders.
