Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was immobilized and carted off the field on a backboard during the fourth quarter of the team's 19-15 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Ford Field.
The injury occurred late in the game, prompting a lengthy delay as medical personnel attended to Campbell. Head coach Dan Campbell and teammates watched anxiously as the 25-year-old defender was carefully placed on a stretcher and removed from the field.
The Lions held on for the win, improving their record, but the sight of Campbell being taken away on a backboard cast a shadow over the result. "It's scary," one observer noted as the stadium fell silent.
Further updates on Campbell's condition are expected in the coming days.
