Lions say Jack Campbell is ‘improving’ after severe neck injury, so why are fans still worried?
Detroit head coach Dan Campbell gave 'good news' about status of linebacker, but hasn't given details on severe neck injury.
Detroit Lions All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell reported on Wednesday that he has regained full movement in his lower body following a neck injury sustained during a game against the Minnesota Vikings. The incident occurred early in the fourth quarter of a 19-15 victory, when Campbell was carted off the field on a backboard.
Despite the severity of the injury, Campbell expressed optimism, stating that he is "continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body." Lions coach Dan Campbell commended the positive news, assuring that everyone is thankful for it.
The injury left Campbell face down on the turf, not moving, after a collision with tight end T.J. Hockenson. He was evaluated by medical personnel before being transported to the hospital, where he has been recovering since the incident. Campbell emphasized his positive outlook, taking things one day at a time, staying optimistic, and focusing on his recovery.
