Three Atlanta Falcons roster hopefuls shine and improve their stock after preseason loss to Lions. Key standouts, bright futures ahead.

The Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons preseason game was suspended after defensive back Morice Norris was taken off the field by an ambulance.

When Falcons coach Raheem Morris explained the decision to end Friday night's preseason game after Lions safety Morice Norris suffered a potentially serious head/neck injury, Morris said he didn't know whether the league approved of the move.

Isaac TeSlaa and Jackson Meeks scored TDs Saturday and Dominic Lovett recovered a muffed punt for the Detroit Lions.

The preseason game between the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons has officially been suspended by the NFL in New York, the referees announced to the stadium. This comes after Lions defensive back Morice Norris was forced to exit the field in an ambulance following what appeared to be a knee to his head.

The Lions-Falcons game was suspended in the fourth quarter after Detroit defensive back Morice Norris left the game in an ambulance with an apparent head or neck injury when he collided with Atlanta’s Nathan Carter.

Of Atlanta’s 5 highest graded players, once again, four were on the defensive side of the ball: wide receiver David Sills (90.8), defensive lineman Simeon Barrow Jr (89.5), cornerback Dee Alford (82.6), edge Arnold Ebiketie (79.0) and linebacker Nick Kubitz (78.6).

"He's somebody that we feel like has improved every day, every week, so you're always going to take notice of those guys," Lions coach Dan Campbell said. "He's going to be somebody that we talk about tomorrow. He's going to come up because he's elevated his play and he is noticed."
