Berliner Tageblatt - NFL linebacker Campbell to remain hospitalized overnight

The Lions announced the details after Campbell was placed onto a backboard by medical personnel and driven off the field early in the fourth quarter, and the team later released an updated statement.

"Jack Campbell is resting and will remain in a local hospital tonight, for continued evaluation and monitoring," the Lions said.

"The team will provide further updates as we have them."

Campbell was injured after making his third tackle of the contest by stopping Minnesota tight end TJ Hockenson. He was prone face down on the field and not moving.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Jack and his family," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said in his comments immediately after the game.

"He's being taken care of. We don't have any new information. We'll keep you updated as this goes, but we're thinking about him."

The 26-year-old from Iowa was a first-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Lions, chosen 18th overall.

Campbell had a career-best season for Detroit in 2025 with 89 solo tackles, five sacks and 176 combined tackles. He also forced three fumbles and recovered two.

"Jack's deal was definitely scary," Lions quarterback Jared Goff said. "It just brings you back to reality for a moment that he's a husband and a father.

"Scary. We're praying for him and hope he's going to be all right. If anyone is tough enough to get through something like that, it's going to be him."

The Lions signed Campbell last May to a four-year contract extension worth $81 million.
