Lions All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell carted off with neck injury

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 21:32 · Archive

Detroit Lions All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell was placed on a backboard and carted off the field early in the fourth quarter against the Minnesota Vikings with a suspected neck injury. Campbell was face down on the turf and not moving after making a tackle on tight end T.J. Hockenson, his third tackle of the game. He was evaluated by medical personnel before being strapped to a board and carefully lifted onto a cart to a round of applause.

Detroit's entire team and most of the coaching staff surrounded the cart before it transported Campbell off the field. He was taken to a hospital for further evaluation.

Campbell, a former Iowa star, was drafted by the Lions with the 18th overall pick in 2023. Last season he was an All-Pro selection after becoming the first NFL player in seven years to record 150-plus tackles alongside at least five sacks and three forced fumbles. The Lions signed Campbell to a four-year contract extension in May that runs through the 2030 season.
