But on Monday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell shared with reporters that Norris is in concussion protocol, and that they'll "take it easy" on him for the next couple weeks. The fact that Norris has a timeline for when the Lions may start ramping things up with him suggests the injury wasn't quite as bad as it visually appeared.

Detroit Lions defensive back Morice Norris was carted off the field with what appeared to be a neck injury early in the fourth quarter Friday.

Detroit Lions safety Morice Norris, who was taken off the field in an ambulance late in a preseason game last week, is in concussion protocol and doing well, coach Dan Campbell said Monday. "We're going to take it nice and easy here to make sure he's good over the next 10 to 14 days and reassess," Campbell said. "That's good news."
