The Detroit Lions honored injured linebacker Jack Campbell with their performance in a 19-9 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The win improved Detroit’s season record to 6-2.
Coaches and players wore No. 46 jerseys in tribute to Campbell, and the Lions arrived at Hard Rock Stadium wearing his jersey. The team had sought to honor him by preparing and playing as he would.
Campbell, a first-team All-Pro linebacker, was carted off the field during Detroit’s win over the Minnesota Vikings the previous week. He was hospitalized with a neck injury.
In a statement during the week, Campbell said he had full movement in his lower body and was continuing to make progress with movement in his upper body.
