Great news, such a scary situation. Get healthy Jack!
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

Media going to run with it and yea i beat my girlfriend, and almost certainly making sure the video doesnt get out because its that bad. But yea that damm media
Josh Jacobs explained his celebration after his first TD tonight when he put his hands behind his back.
He said it was an ode to the gospel song, “Break Every Chain.”
He said the TV cameras didn’t get the whole thing.

Love Ryan O’Reilly, always wanted him to be a Predator. It’s a complete disservice to fans if him and Stamkos aren’t both traded. This team is not good, and completely reliant on 4 guys that are 36,36,35 and 32.

Am I crazy or hasn’t the Lions D always been bad. Even while they been dominant the last couple years, their defence was a unit that completely benefited from being in obvious passing situations all the time. The offence has carried them and now Johnson is gone.
The Lions didn’t fall off because they lost Ben Johnson
They fell off because their all-world center retired, other core linemen dipped, and their secondary became a graveyard
Just a frustrating narrative to me with all respect to how brilliant Ben is

“Fourth-and-1 and you have a rookie in front of you? If I was a quarterback, I’d try that too. But they don’t know about Big Citrus yet.”

Back for more: #Vikings legend Harrison Smith is returning to Minnesota for a 15th season, per me and @MikeGarafolo, getting a 1-year deal worth $12.25M.
The 6-time Pro Bowler & former All-Pro has a max value of $16.25M with playoff incentives in a deal done by @AthletesFirst.

I like Luke Evangelista but I do worry about him getting more money then he is worth. Tough seeing another young player moved

Come on @JasonMoore, the NFC North is a more competitive division than the West for sure. There’s no Cardinals like team in the North

Been a massive fan of @HeedTheCallPod and @TheFFBallers for 10+ years. Having them work together is so cool
