Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the incident at the press conference after the game.
“He breathes, he talks. It’s good. He has a movement,” said Campbell. “Now you will simply carry out more tests.”
Lions Quarterback Kyle Allen said reporters said that he prayed for Norris and added: “Sometimes it’s a terrible game.”
“I don’t think someone wanted to play on this sidelines,” said Allen. “We were not part of this decision, but they could just look into the eyes of everyone and see that it was not worth it.”
