The Lions led 17-10 when they were arrested.
Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the post-match press conference incident.
“He breathes, he speaks. It’s good. He has a movement,” said Campbell. “Now they will just perform more tests.”
The Lions quarterrier, Kyle Allen, told journalists he prayed for Norris, adding: “It is sometimes a terrible game.”
“I don’t think anyone on this touch line did not want to play,” said Allen. “We were not part of this decision, but you could just look in everyone’s eyes and see that it was not worth it.”
