Detroit Lions' star linebacker Jack Campbell has been placed on injured reserve, just a week following his hospitalization due to a neck injury. The team informed this decision on Saturday, alongside incorporating Nick Whiteside from the practice squad to the active roster. Additionally, they promoted Anthony Lucas and Jabari Small from the practice squad.
The Lions are set to play against Miami on Sunday. In an earlier interview, Campbell confirmed he retains full mobility in his lower body and is making steady progress in his upper body as well. He expressed optimism regarding his recovery in a statement issued by the team. Campbell experienced the injury during the fourth quarter of a game against Minnesota last Sunday.
He was found unresponsive on the ground after colliding with Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson. Medical professionals assessed Campbell before he was secured on a board and gently transported to the cart. "Jack continues to improve, which is all great news," Lions' coach Dan Campbell stated on Friday.
