DETROIT — Detroit Lions safety Morice Norris used a social media post Saturday to say he’s OK and thank people for their support after he was taken off the field in an ambulance late in an NFL preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday.

Norris reposted a screenshot about being grateful along with a Bible verse, adding a message of his own.

“Amen Amen,” he posted on his Instagram story.

“I’m all good man don’t stress,” he said, adding he appreciates all of the support and those who have checked in on him.

Norris was in stable condition late Friday night after he was attended to for about 20 minutes by medical personnel at Mercedes-Benz Stadium before being taken to an Atlanta hospital.
