The Lions Place Linebacker Jack Campbell on Injured Reserve After Neck Injury in Last Week’s Victory Over the Vikings
[/TITLE>
The Lions announced on Saturday that linebacker Jack Campbell has been placed on the injured reserve list.
Campbell sustained a neck injury during last week’s win versus the Vikings and remains hospitalized. He revealed earlier this week that he has full range of motion in his lower body and is making solid progress with his upper body mobility.
Trevor Nowaske is expected to start at Campbell’s end as he joins Derrick Barnes and Malcolm Rodriguez on the field.
In a matched effort, the Lions signed cornerback Nick Whiteside from the Lions’ practice squad. Whiteside missed the upcoming 2026 season but recorded nine games for the team last year.
