Jack Campbell injury update ahead of Lions vs. Dolphins in Week 9
Detroit linebacker Jack Campbell's recovery from an on-field neck injury continues as the Lions prepare to face the Miami Dolphins in NFL Week 9.
Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell is the focus of concern as his teammates, coaches and fans await updates on his recovery ahead of the Week 9 road game against the Miami Dolphins. After suffering an undisclosed spinal injury on Sunday, Nov. 1, Campbell was hospitalized at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and has been making incremental progress in his rehabilitation.
On Wednesday, Nov. 4, Campbell provided his first public statement, announcing that he still had full movement in his lower body and was continuing to improve his upper body mobility. Despite the lack of a confirmed diagnosis, some medical experts believe Campbell's delayed upper-body movement recovery could indicate central cord syndrome, a rare condition that often leads to a full recovery when treated.
The Lions have not disclosed a timeline for Campbell's return, but he will miss the November 8th game against the 1-6 Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
