The Detroit Lions have placed linebacker Jack Campbell on injured reserve, less than a week after he was hospitalized with a neck injury, the team announced Sunday.
The move comes after Campbell suffered the injury during the Lions' recent game. The second-year linebacker out of Iowa was taken to a hospital for evaluation and remained there for observation before being released.
Campbell, a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has been a key contributor to Detroit's defense this season. His placement on injured reserve means he will miss at least four games before becoming eligible to return.
The Lions will need to adjust their linebacker rotation in Campbell's absence as they continue their campaign in the NFC North.
