Lions say LB Jack Campbell continues to recover in the hospital, early indications are positive

The Detroit Lions provided an update on linebacker Jack Campbell on Monday.

"Jack Campbell continues to rest and recover at a local hospital. Preliminary indications are positive, and out of respect for Jack and his family, we will not share further information at this time."

Lions head coach Dan Campbell (no relation) also spoke to the media on Monday and led with an update about the linebacker.

"It's positive. Your prayers are working; please continue to do that. We'll leave it at that. Just continue to pray for him, but it is positive news on Jack."

Campbell missed the end of the Lions' win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. He was involved in a multi-player tackle that left him injured.

Medical staff checked out the Detroit linebacker, and quickly called for a cart with a backboard. Campbell was surrounded by teammates and was taken off the field and transported to a local hospital.

Detroit went on to win 19-15 , handing the Vikings their first loss of the season. Postgame , Lions head coach Dan Campbell said the linebacker is "being taken care of" but had no additional information about his condition.

Campbell is in his fourth season in the league this fall. The former Iowa standout, whom the Lions selected with the No. 18 overall pick in 2023, recorded three total tackles in the win. He's up to 57 on the season.

The Lions are on a three-game win streak and are 5-2, second in the NFC North.

Detroit heads on the road in Week 9 to take on the Miami Dolphins before crossing the pond to face the New England Patriots in Week 10 in Munich, Germany.
