The main highlight of the NFL preseason so far is the several injuries key players sustained, some of them being ruled out for the entire 2025 season. Detroit Lions safety Morice Norris, who was taken off the field in an ambulance, is in concussion protocol and doing well, coach Dan Campbell said Monday.
The Green Bay Packers received some bad news, with starting quarterback Jordan Love undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a ligament in his left, non-throwing thumb, general manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed. He ‘shouldn’t miss any regular-season game'.
