Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell continues to rest and recover at a local hospital after suffering a neck injury on Sunday, the team announced Monday.
"Preliminary indications are positive, and out of respect for Jack and his family, we will not share further information at this time," the Lions wrote.
The All-Pro linebacker was placed on a backboard and carted off the field early in the fourth quarter of a 19-15 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
He was alert and breathing when he was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
Campbell was face down on the turf and was not moving after hitting tight end T.J. Hockenson for his third tackle of the game. He was evaluated by medical personnel before being strapped to a board and carefully lifted onto a cart to a round of applause.
Detroit's entire team and most of the coaching staff surrounded the cart before it transported Campbell off the field for further evaluation.
The former Iowa star was drafted by the Lions with the No. 18 overall pick in 2023. Last season, Campbell was an All-Pro selection after becoming the first NFL player in seven years to have 150-plus tackles and at least five sacks and three forced fumbles.
The Lions signed Campbell last May to a four-year contract extension that runs through the 2030 season.
