The Detroit Lions said the early signs for linebacker Jack Campbell are positive after he suffered a neck injury, according to a Fox News report. Fox News reported that the team used the phrase "preliminary indications are positive," but its summary said key questions about Campbell's mobility remain unanswered.
The Guardian reported that Campbell was carted off the field during Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings and taken to hospital. In a Guardian report, the paper said the 26-year-old was treated for nine minutes on the field. The Guardian's headline also used the word "scary" to describe the neck injury.
According to The Guardian, Campbell remains in hospital and will stay there for the time being. The same report said the Lions will not release further information about his condition.
BBC News also reported that the Lions say the early indications for Campbell's recovery are positive, in a BBC News report.
The reports agree that the early signs are positive. They differ on his current status, since The Guardian reported that he remains in hospital, while the Fox News and BBC News summaries do not address where he is. None of the three summaries gives a diagnosis or a timeline for Campbell's return to play. Fox News said questions about his mobility remain unanswered, and The Guardian reported that the team will not release further information.
