- Jack Campbell said in an update on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, that he has full movement in his lower body and is continuing to make progress with his upper body after the neck injury.
- Jack Campbell went face down and did not move after tackling TJ Hockenson early in the fourth quarter of Detroit's 19-15 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
- Detroit Lions medical personnel evaluated Campbell, strapped him to a board and carefully lifted him onto a cart; the entire team and most of the coaching staff surrounded him during a round of applause.
- Henry Ford Hospital provided care after Campbell's neck injury, and he publicly thanked the hospital's medical team as well as the Lions' medical staff for their compassion and professionalism.
- Jack Campbell, 26, signed a contract extension with Detroit in May that runs through the 2030 season; the Lions drafted him 18th overall in 2023.
- Jack Campbell earned All-Pro honors last season, becoming the first player in seven years with 150-plus tackles, at least five sacks and three forced fumbles.
- Dan Campbell said that voting his linebacker captain showed he was trustworthy and dependable, describing him as "all heart" and "all effort."
Why it matters: Detroit has a major stake in Campbell’s availability: the 26-year-old team captain is signed through 2030 after a 150-plus-tackle All-Pro season. His full lower-body movement is encouraging, but no return date is given and upper-body work remains, leaving his near-term role unspecified.
