Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell remains in a local hospital after suffering a neck injury during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old was injured in the fourth quarter while tackling Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson and was taken off the field on a stretcher after lying face down on the turf.

The Lions issued a statement saying Campbell continues to rest and recover, with preliminary indications positive. The team added that no further information will be shared at this time out of respect for Campbell and his family.

Detroit went on to win the game 19-15 after play resumed. Campbell, a 2023 first-round draft pick (18th overall), signed a contract extension in May that runs through the 2030 season.
