DETROIT (AP) - Detroit Lions All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell was placed on a backboard and carted off the field early in the fourth quarter against the Minnesota Vikings.
Campbell was face down on the turf and was not moving after hitting tight end T.J. Hockenson for his third tackle of the game. He was evaluated by medical personnel before being strapped to a board and carefully lifted onto a court to a round of applause.
Detroit’s entire team and most of the coaching staff surrounded the cart before it transported Campbell off the field for further evaluation.

Lions offense overcomes Vikings defense, as Detroit wins
The Detroit Lions won their third straight game, knocking off previously unbeaten Minnesota at Ford Field on Sunday afternoon.
The former Iowa star was drafted by the Lions with No. 18 overall pick in 2023. Last season, Campbell was an All-Pro selection after becoming the first NFL player in seven years to have 150-plus tackles and at least five sacks and three forced fumbles.
The Lions signed Campbell last May to a four-year contract extension that runs through the 2030 season.
