Former University of Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell is in a hospital after suffering a scary neck injury while playing for the Detroit Lions Sunday afternoon.
Campbell suffered the injury while tackling another Hawkeye alum, Vikings tight end TJ Hockenson in the fourth quarter of the Lions win over Minnesota. He remained on the field with training staff and medical personnel surrounding him as the cart arrived. He was loaded onto a backboard before the cart took him off the field. His Lions teammates were noticeably emotional, showing concern for Campbell.
In a statement on social media, the Detroit Lions said “Jack Campbell is resting and will remain in a local hospital for continued evaluation and monitoring. The team will provide further updates as we have them.”
Campbell entered Week 8 of the season with a team-high 54 tackles.
