Jack Campbell Neck Injury: Detroit Lions Coach Shares "Positive" Update | E! News
E! News brings together Dan Campbell's encouraging update on Jack Campbell and his explanation of what the injured linebacker means to the Lions: someone his teammates trust and depend on.
"The good news is he is improving," the Detroit coach said during a November 3 appearance on 97.1 The Ticket. That followed a press conference in which he described the news as positive and asked people to continue praying for Jack.
The report follows the linebacker's neck injury during Detroit's game against the Minnesota Vikings. After tackling T.J. Hockenson in the fourth quarter, Campbell lay motionless on the field. Medical personnel secured him to a backboard and took him off by cart. A Lions statement said he was being transported to a local hospital for evaluation.
The Short drew about 70,000 views in seven hours, an unusually quick start for E! News. In the comments, viewers ask for more specific information about his condition alongside messages of support. The coach's update does not give a recovery timetable.
The report closes with Dan Campbell discussing Jack's captaincy. "He earned every bit of that," he says. "He's a guy that, you know, he's trustworthy, he's dependable."
