Detroit Lions honor Jack Campbell following serious neck injury

The Detroit Lions defeated the Miami Dolphins 19-9 on Sunday, playing in honor of linebacker and defensive captain Jack Campbell. Campbell was hospitalized with a serious neck injury after a game against the Minnesota Vikings on November 1.

To pay tribute, Lions players and coaching staff arrived at Hard Rock Stadium wearing Campbell’s No. 46 jerseys. The team adopted the mantra “play like 46” throughout the week to channel the All-Pro linebacker’s leadership during the game.

In a recent statement, Campbell reported that he has full movement in his lower extremities and is regaining movement in his upper body. While he remains on injured reserve and at Henry Ford Hospital, there is growing optimism within the organization regarding his recovery. Head coach Dan Campbell noted that the linebacker remains determined to overcome the adversity and return to the field.
