During the Detroit Lions 19-15 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit linebacker Jack Campbell suffered a serious injury and needed to be stretchered off the field.
The injury occurred in a collision as Campbell was going to for a tackle but collided with not only Vikings tight end T.J. Jockenson but also his teammates. Campbell immediately needed medical attention when his teammates realized he wasn't moving.
After a long delay, the Lions medical team put Campbell on a stretcher and carted him off the field, where he was taken to the hospital.
