After an accident last week required the amputation of his left arm and ended his NFL career, the 22 year old's management team launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover his medical expenses.
On Tuesday the fundraiser was updated to inform contributors that the NFL had reached out and advised them that the league would cover the young talent's medical expenses. Donations would now cover his daily living expenses since he no longer can play in the league.
The Miami Dolphins have the option to keep Norton on their Non-Football Injury (NFI) list which would allow him to collect his $495,000 salary for the 2019 season and remain on the league's health insurance plan. The team has not spoken about their decision on this yet.
Norton took to his Instagram on Tuesday to thank his well wishers and update people of his health.
