Lions coach says linebacker Jack Campbell's recovery progressing
Head coach Dan Campbell reported that Jack Campbell's neck injury continues to improve as the team prepares for its upcoming game.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said on Friday that linebacker Jack Campbell's recovery from a neck injury sustained during the team's win over the Minnesota Vikings is continuing to improve. Campbell noted that the team feels a responsibility to perform well in the upcoming matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 8.
"Jack continues to improve, which is all great news. How would he prepare? How would he play? Those are the standards for us going into this game. We owe it to him," Campbell said.
Campbell's update follows daily reports from the Lions organization and a family-posted update on the team's social media page on Nov. 4. The linebacker was taken off the field on a medical board after a tackle on tight end T.J. Hockenson and was evaluated at a hospital.
