Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was carted off the field on Sunday after a serious injury during the team's game against the Minnesota Vikings. According to the BBC, Campbell was struck in the head while tackling tight end TJ Hockenson in the third quarter and was face down on the pitch when medical officials rushed to his side.
CBS Sports reported that Campbell was placed on a stretcher and taken off the pitch on a cart to a round of applause from his teammates and most of the Lions coaching staff. Fox News and SSBCrack also confirmed that Campbell was transported to a local hospital for evaluation.
The Lions won the game 19-15, with DJ Wonnum and Brian Branch also suffering concussions during the match. Coach Dan Campbell told reporters after the game that he had no further information on Jack's status, other than that he was receiving medical care.
Both the BBC and Fox News reported that Campbell was taken to the hospital to be evaluated for a neck injury. The Lions later stated in a press release that Campbell would remain in the hospital overnight for evaluation and monitoring.
The atmosphere at the stadium was somber as Campbell was attended to by medical personnel. According to the BBC, Aidan Hutchinson was visibly emotional, seen in tears as he watched the scene unfold.
Dan Campbell, the head coach, provided an update on his player, stating that Jack Campbell was 'alert' and breathing on his own as he left the stadium. This was reported by NFL.com and Wxyz.
The Lions signed Campbell to a four-year contract extension last May that runs through the 2030 season, as reported by the BBC and Wxyz. The team officially announced him as questionable to return with a knee injury, though the primary concern was his neck.
