Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was taken to hospital with a neck injury during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old sustained the injury while tackling tight end TJ Hockenson in the third quarter. Campbell was placed on a stretcher and received a round of applause as he was carted off the pitch, with teammates and coaching staff surrounding him.
Coach Dan Campbell stated Campbell is being taken care of, with no new information available. Campbell, drafted 18th overall in 2023, signed a contract extension through 2030 last May. Last season, he was an All-Pro selection after recording 150-plus tackles, five sacks and three forced fumbles.
The Lions won 19-15, though DJ Wonnum and Brian Branch both suffered concussions.
