The Detroit Lions were able to take down the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8, but they lost one of their key defenders in the process. Jack Campbell suffered a rough neck injury during the game, which led to him being transported to the hospital.
“LB Jack Campbell is down on the field in a pretty scary situation. Cart immediately came out for him. Lots of medical personnel around him as they are putting him on a stretcher,” Lions reporter Tim Twentyman wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“Jack Campbell is being transported to a local hospital to be evaluated for a neck injury,” the Lions wrote on X.
Aidan Hutchinson didn't take the injury easily, and he was seen in tears during the moment.
“Man. Jack Campbell carted off with a serious injury and Aidan Hutchinson was still in tears as he got a key third down hit on Kyler Murray on the next snap,”Adam Hoge wrote on X.
Everyone will be waiting for an update on Campbell, and the hope is that everything is okay. His health is the most important thing right now, and the team will let him take all the time he needs in order to get better and back on the field. For the time being, it'll be next man up for the Lions, and they should be able to fill his void.
The Lions have recently been able to get some of their players back from injury, which included Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph. If the Lions can get pressure in the trenches, then the secondary should be able to make plays at the right time.
