The Detroit Lions got a victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but the win took a backseat to a sad moment on the field. Lions linebacker Jack Campbell suffered a neck injury during the game and was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation and treatment.
After the game, the Lions issued an official statement saying that Campbell was resting and recovering while getting more medical care, but didn’t shed much more light on the injury.
Since then, players and others in the NFL have offered their prayers for Campbell. Lions head coach Dan Campbell even talked about the power of people praying for the player while speaking with reporters on Monday, saying, “It’s positive, so your prayers are working. Please continue to do that.”
