Former NFL star recalls his scariest on-field moments following Jack Campbell injury
Former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall described the shock of seeing teammates suffer serious injuries, following Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell being stretchered off the field. His recollections underline how players must quickly refocus during games, even when a teammate’s condition is uncertain.
Marshall recalled two earlier incidents: Denver teammate Dominic Hixon was injured in a 2007 tackle that left opponent Kevin Everett with a cervical spine injury, and UCF teammate Paul Carrington was airlifted to hospital during practice before the 2005 season. Carrington went on to play that season and record nine sacks, while Everett later regained the ability to walk. The Lions said preliminary indications for Campbell were positive but shared no further details, citing respect for him and his family.

- Brandon Marshall recalled frightening injuries involving former teammates.
