Campbell not going on IR yet doesn’t necessarily mean he will return. It likely means the team and medical staff are still assessing his condition.
Given a) the other roster spaces available and b) the potential seriousness of the injury, there is no need to rush.
Daily reminder that getting help managing your mental health isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength.
Proud of the players that sought out counseling in this situation.
#Lions coach Dan Campbell says the team has resources available re: counseling about Jack Campbell's injury and that some players are taking advantage of it.

STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL
My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express.
I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.
My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this.
I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done.
To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people.
One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge.
Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough.
God is good. My faith is strong.
Jack Campbell
I can’t prove it but I’m pretty sure that any team playing the Packers/Bears/Vikings loses half of their IQ points. No other explanation for the shenanigans they benefit from.
Of course the one time the NFL actually calls a delay of game penalty correctly, it ends up helping the Bears.

Jack Campbell continues to rest and recover at a local hospital. Preliminary indications are positive and out of respect for Jack and his family we will not share further information at this time.
I think a lot of people are frustrated/disappointed with the lack of receiving usage, but he certainly plays an important role in the offense’s success.
