Norris, 24, remained motionless on the ground after his head snapped back after making contact with Falcons running back Nathan Carter's leg. Medical staff rushed to his side, and he soon began convulsing on the ground. 

He was transported off the field by ambulance after 20 minutes and remained at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta overnight "for observation." 

The injury left coaches and players on both teams shaken up. Lions head coach Dan Campbell was emotional as he spoke to reporters after the game, which was later suspended by the league with just over six minutes remaining.
