Lions Place LB Jack Campbell on Injured Reserve
Campbell’s neck injury opened a roster spot as Detroit added defensive back Nick Whiteside and elevated two players for Sunday’s game.
- On Saturday, the Detroit Lions placed All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell on injured reserve, six days after he suffered a serious neck injury during the team's 19-15 win over the Minnesota Vikings on November 1.
- Campbell's injury occurred on the first play of the fourth quarter when his head hit tight end T.J. Hockenson's hip, though Head coach Dan Campbell said the linebacker "continues to improve."
- In a statement shared through the team Wednesday, Campbell wrote he had "full movement in my lower body, and I'm continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body," remaining "very optimistic."
- Corresponding with the move, the Lions signed cornerback Nick Whiteside to the active roster from the practice squad and elevated defensive end Anthony Lucas and running back Jabari Small for Sunday's Miami Dolphins matchup.
- Defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard emphasized the Lions' adaptive approach, stating the team must "adjust and have an answer for these players to go out and play" against the Dolphins.
