  "account": "Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was rushed to a hospital on Sunday after suffering a neck injury during an NFL game against the Minnesota Vikings. Campbell's head was struck by an opposing player while he was tackling tight end TJ Hockenson in the third quarter. The 26-year-old was found face down on the field when medical personnel arrived and was quickly moved to a stretcher, which was then transported off the pitch to the hospital. Campbell's teammates and coaching staff gathered around him in appreciation as he received medical attention, as they applauded his efforts. The Lions confirmed that he had been taken to a hospital, but no additional details were provided at the time of the announcement. Head coach Dan Campbell expressed his support for Campbell and his family, stating that they are being cared for, though no further information was available. Campbell, who was drafted by the Lions in the 18th overall pick in 2023, has been a standout player for the team. In the previous season, he earned an All-Pro selection for his impressive performance, setting a record with 150-plus tackles, five sacks, and three forced fumbles. The Lions went on to win the game 19-15, with two of Campbell's teammates, DJ Wonnum and Brian Branch, both suffering concussions.",
