Lions coach leads locker room prayer for Jack Campbell after linebacker hospitalized with neck injury

Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was taken from the field on a backboard after suffering a serious neck injury in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. He remained in hospital overnight for evaluation and monitoring, and the Lions said they would provide updates when available. After Detroit’s 19-15 win, head coach Dan Campbell led the team in prayer for the player and his family.

Campbell was injured in the fourth quarter after contact involving Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson, who later sent his good wishes to Campbell and his family. The linebacker had played in every game since entering the NFL in 2023; this season he had 57 tackles and one fumble recovery across seven games. He recorded 176 tackles and five sacks last season, when he earned his first Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections.
