Detroit Lions safety Morice Norris was taken off the field in an ambulance after suffering a serious injury in the team's preseason matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
Norris' injury occurred as he attempted to make a tackle on Falcons running back Nathan Carter. Norris appeared to hit his head on Carter's right knee, which caused Norris' head to snap back at an awkward angle.
Norris remained down for several minutes while medical personnel tended to him. Eventually, he was loaded onto a backboard and taken away by ambulance.
The entire Lions team gathered on the field as Norris was tended to.
The Lions did not immediately provide an update about Norris' condition.
