Lions put LB Jack Campbell on IR, less than a week after he was hospitalized with neck injury

Detroit Lions star linebacker Jack Campbell has been placed on injured reserve, just a week after he was hospitalized due to a neck injury, according to AP reports. The move came on Saturday, following his hospitalization earlier in the week. Campbell, an All-Pro player, has been struggling with neck pain since he suffered the injury during a game against the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday.

He was face down on the turf after colliding with Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson, and did not move after the hit. Campbell was later found unresponsive and taken to the hospital. Despite his injury, Campbell remains optimistic about his recovery, stating that he has full movement in his lower body and is making progress in regaining movement in his upper body.

The Lions have also made other roster moves this week, adding Nick Whiteside from the practice squad and promoting Anthony Lucas and Jabari Small from the practice squad to the active roster. The team is set to face the Miami Dolphins (1-6) on Sunday at home.
