Jack Campbell injury

Horrible situation. And there seems little reason to be optimistic about it.
Still no statement that he’s moving his extremities.
The initial statement that he’s “breathing and alert” was a really odd statement, and they should have shut up and not said anything if that was the best news they could give.
In particular, I don’t get why they said he was breathing. That’s tantamount to saying he’s not dead, because if he wasn’t breathing he’d be dead. Why would you give an injury report statement saying that a guy’s not dead?
The update tonight was little better. It said he has to go through evaluation and monitoring at a local hospital, and there’s still no statement that he’s moving any extremities.
Honestly, I’m pretty sure he’s paralyzed. If he wasn’t paralyzed, I’m pretty sure that they would have said so by now.

I thought the same thing. They didn’t actually give any news about movement which makes me think there is no movement

Going to keep praying though. Can’t imagine what he and his family are going through right now.

Yeah, at this point I’m assuming that he’s at least temporarily paralyzed. I just hope that his paralysis isn’t lifelong.
Sometimes guys can “recover” (if you want to call it that) from paralysis and are able to move again a month or six months or a year or however long later. Sometimes they can even regain the ability to walk unassisted.
But even if he walks again, I can’t imagine that he’ll be able to play football again.

All time great Hawk. Sickening. What’s worse is it happened tackling another great hawk in Hockenson.

Hoping it’s closer to Ryan Shazier than that

Likely has an incomplete spinal cord injury, looks to be cervical.

I haven't gone back and looked at any alternate angles or anything, and when I was watching the actual game I was doing some stuff around the house, so didn't see very much. It seemed like a very unlikely injury to have such a grave outcome potentially. WTF did I miss that it was that terrible? I saw it live but that was it, then hearing the announcer reaction wasn't encouraging- and now this update is really really ominous

Currently driving cross country and was listening to that game. Still haven’t seen it but the silence on the radio and how long it remained silent spoke volumes.

I thought the way this was worded was pretty ominous.

He was moving before the trainers got to him. He dragged himself along the ground.

He wasn’t tho. There were 2 players injured, the one moving was the other guy. He went limp and didn’t move.

Nothing on front of ESPN, nothing on the NFL section, nothing on the Lion’s page (but they do have a piece of what clothes players were wearing as they arrived for the game).

His teammate (who was also injured in the play, albeit far less seriously) is the actual guy who moves.

sometimes when swelling goes down things change - no point in saying anything more than what they actually know.

His career may be over but good thing he got his second contract. 51m guaranteed

Literally everything was going this young man’s way.
Beautiful wife.
Healthy baby boy.
Fat contract.
And now this. Damn.
Not seeing or hearing anything.

My assumption is that monitoring and no action is good news. If he was paralyzed, I have little doubt that he would've undergone surgery of some type, almost immediately, or we would be hearing things like we're waiting on swelling to subside.
