Good to hear that McEvoy says Phil Norman's EKG test came back normal. Hope blood tests etc. soon help solve the mystery. My thoughts with Phil, wishing him well.

Sukh Chung on Phil Norman from an earlier tweet than the Lions update:



Clearly players, coaches and staff would be very upset at an incident that's scary like this one must have been for them and Norman.

Glad he is in hospital getting reviewed by the experts. Good thing he was around everyone when it happened.

Norman was at practice today. Standing with coaches in oline group.

He was 6-gamed, I assume there is some salary cap mgmt in that since wasn’t dressing with our lack of injuries on oline. I assume he continues to go through medical testing.

Sounds positive for him but in all things pro sports there's the health issue at play and for these guys, their job.

It adds also to the concern from other players seeing a teammate collapse like that. Many emotions I'm sure.
