Norris went in for a tackle on Friday night and took a knee to the helmet in the proccess.
From there on it was a nightmare, as he laid stiff on the ground.
Players were shocked by what they saw and gathered around Norris while emergency medical personnel worked on him.
As he was lifted into the ambulance, players from both teams met at midfield to pray for him.
Once the game was ready to resume, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Emory Jones held the ball while players from both sides didn’t move.
The game was eventually suspended by the NFL with the Lions winning 17-10.
Norris was reported to be in stable condition after getting to the hospital.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters that Norris was breathing and had movement in his extremities.
By Saturday, Norris was already able to relay a message to fans about his condition.
“Amen Amen,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I’m all good man. Don’t stress it. Appreciate all the check ins and love.”
Following his social media message, Norris was healthy enough to meet his teammates at the Lions’ practice facility, which was confirmed by a team spokesperson.
There is no word on when he will be able to return to football activities.
Campbell will address the media about the situation on Monday.
Fans were relieved to see Norris in such good condition after the scary hit, and shared their thoughts on social media.
