Okay, so let’s be real: that 32-29 loss to the San Francisco Niners last night? Absolute gut punch. We’re all still reeling from watching that one slip away at home. And while we’re busy processing that, some news broke across the league about a young guy who dodged a bullet, making you wonder what kind of luck is out there for others.
Will Campbell Got Lucky, Thank Goodness
Patriots left tackle Will Campbell just got word he avoided a major knee injury, thank goodness. He’s only considered week-to-week, which is a massive relief given how these things usually go in the NFL. Tom Pelissero dropped that update, and honestly, you gotta feel for the kid. This isn’t his first rodeo with knee issues, and dodging something serious is a huge win for his career, even if we’re over here wishing some of that luck had landed on the Lumen Field turf last night.
A Tough Start to a Promising Career
Campbell’s only 22 and already in his second year, but he’s already been through it. Last season, he sat out four games with a knee injury. He powered through, starting all the way through the Super Bowl, but word was he wasn’t even 100 percent healthy. The Patriots took him with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, so they’re clearly banking on him. He’s started every game he’s been healthy enough to play in his career, showing that when he’s out there, he’s the guy. It’s just a shame he’s had to deal with this so early.
So while Campbell’s got his own battle ahead to get back on the field, we’re left staring at that 32-29 scoreboard against the Niners and trying to figure out how we pick ourselves up. Good for him for avoiding the worst. Now, for us? We gotta shake off this loss, regroup, and come out swinging next week. The season’s still early, and we know our Hawks have that fight in them. This one stings, but our 12s are resilient.
