Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell remains in a local hospital after suffering a neck injury during the team's Week 8 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. He was carted off the field on a backboard after going limp following a tackle on Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson.
The Lions announced Monday that preliminary indications are positive and that Campbell is resting and recovering. Coach Dan Campbell visited him Sunday night and spoke with his family, describing the situation as a "small setback" and noting everyone is in good spirits.
Campbell, 26, signed a four-year, $81 million extension six months ago. He has recorded 57 tackles, two quarterback hits and a fumble recovery in seven games this season. Last year he earned First Team All-Pro honors with 176 tackles, nine tackles for loss, five sacks, three forced fumbles and four passes defended.
