Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell dropped a statement Wednesday, and honestly, it’s the best news they could’ve gotten on his serious neck injury. He’s “incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time,” and that’s exactly what you want to hear from a guy fighting his way back.
Campbell wasn’t just giving platitudes either. He laid out the progress, saying he’s got “full movement in my lower body” and is “continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body.” That’s a huge step. You know a neck injury, especially a serious one, can be terrifying, so hearing about regaining movement like that has to be a massive relief for him and for Lions faithful. He’s not sugarcoating it though, acknowledging “there’s still work ahead,” which is realistic. But the key here is his mindset, staying “very optimistic,” taking “things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.” You just gotta respect that grind. It’s a tough road, but with that kind of attitude and the progress he’s already made, you have to be pulling for him.
