ATLANTA -- A preseason game between the Lions and Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium was suspended in the fourth quarter Friday night after Detroit safety Morice Norris was taken off the field in an ambulance. Norris hit Carter with his face mask facing the running back's midsection, and the defender's head snapped back after making the hit. He was attended to for about 20 minutes on the field Friday as players from both teams joined hands in unison. An ambulance drove onto the field, and Norris was loaded into it on a stretcher. Lions players take a knee in prayer as Detroit safety Morice Norris is attended to by medical personnel on the field during Friday night's preseason game in Atlanta.
