Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell says he has full movement in his lower body and is continuing to regain movement in his upper body after suffering a neck injury during the team's win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Campbell was taken to a hospital after the injury, according to multiple reports. The update offers a positive development following an incident that required medical attention on the field before he was transported for further treatment.

The Guardian Sport reported that Campbell was injured while making a tackle and received on-field medical attention for about nine minutes before being taken to a hospital in the Detroit area. Those details provide the documented chronology of the incident, but the supplied reports do not establish a detailed medical diagnosis.

Campbell’s statement described full movement in his lower body while saying that movement in his upper body was continuing to improve. BBC Sport reported that he was optimistic about his recovery, while Sky Sports also reported the return of full lower-body movement after the hospitalization.

Lions coach Dan Campbell characterized the update as positive news, according to Yahoo Sports. The available reports do not state the extent or timeline of Jack Campbell’s recovery, so they establish an encouraging movement update without setting out when he might return to play.
