Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell remains in a local hospital after suffering a neck injury during the team's Week 8 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on November 1. Campbell was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field in the fourth quarter after collapsing following a tackle on Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson. He stayed overnight for evaluation.
The Lions released a statement on November 2 saying preliminary indications are positive and that Campbell continues to rest and recover. Head coach Dan Campbell visited the linebacker Sunday night and reported good spirits among Campbell's family. "It was good, it was positive," Dan Campbell said. "It's about the recovery, and it's a small setback."
Campbell, 26, signed a four-year, $81 million extension earlier this year and was named a First Team All-Pro in 2025 after recording 176 tackles. Through seven games this season, he has 57 tackles, two quarterback hits, and a fumble recovery.
