Lions update Morice Norris returns to team facility

The Lions share an update on Morice Norris returning to the facility as injuries test depth at the offensive line.

Lions Update Morice Norris Returns to Team Facility After Concussion

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell provided the latest injury updates on Monday, delivering encouraging news about Morice Norris. Norris, who left Friday's practice on an ambulance due to a head injury, has been discharged from the hospital and is back with the team in concussion protocol. Campbell said Norris will be monitored over the next 10 to 14 days before reassessing his progress.

The team also faced a rough week for its offensive line. Colby Sorsdal and Justin Herron have been placed on season-ending injured reserve, and center Tryston Colon left Friday's game with an elbow injury, sidelining him for an extended period. Detroit added Keaton Sutherland from the UFL to bolster depth. On the positive side, starting left tackle Taylor Decker is expected to participate more in practice, with Dan Skipper and Jamarco Jones returning in limited sessions. Several players remain sidelined, including cornerback Terrion Arnold and receiver Dominic Lovett, though their return timelines could shift.

Detroit is building resilience through depth. Norris back in the fold and in concussion protocol shows the team can manage a head injury without collapsing its plans, but the loss of multiple linemen and the ongoing uncertainty at center places a premium on the roster’s flexibility. The signing of Sutherland signals a practical move to stabilize the middle of the line while the medical pace governs when starters can ramp up again. As the weeks unfold, Detroit will need to prove its depth can hold up in real games while managing the health of key players. The path forward hinges on how quickly the returning players can contribute without reigniting risk.

Highlights

The coming weeks will reveal how Detroit balances medical caution with the need for game-ready depth.
