He was down on the field in Atlanta for about 20 minutes after his head and neck area made contact with a ball carrier’s knee on a tackle attempt.<\/p>\n

He was then taken to a hospital in Atlanta, where he was reported in stable condition.<\/p>\n

The Lions and Falcons did not complete their preseason game after the injury.<\/p>\n

Norris already being back at the facility is a remarkable development in this story that looked for a time like it could be much worse.<\/p>\n
