Lions linebacker Jack Campbell says he has full movement in his lower body, USA Today and MLive report. He gave the update in a statement the Lions shared on Wednesday.

“I have full movement in my lower body, and I'm continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body,” Campbell said, USA Today reports. The team posted the statement on its X account, the paper says.

“I know there's still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic,” he said, USA Today reports.

Campbell thanked the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Lions medical staff, USA Today reports.

He was hurt on the first play of the fourth quarter in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings, MLive reports. He was hurt while making a tackle on tight end T.J. Hockenson, USA Today says.

He was down on the field and motionless for about 10 minutes, MLive reports. He was then loaded onto a backboard and taken to a hospital.

On Monday, the Lions said early signs were good. “Preliminary indications are positive,” the team said, USA Today reports.

Coach Dan Campbell gave an update on 97.1 The Ticket on Tuesday. “The good news is he is improving,” the coach said, USA Today reports.

Campbell is 26, USA Today reports. The Lions picked him in the first round of the 2023 draft. He was named a first-team All-Pro last season, the paper says.

Only Campbell's statement, shared by the Lions, has reported this so far; MLive and USA Today relay the same statement, and NewsHabit hasn't seen independent confirmation. Neither outlet gives a diagnosis.

What we know: Campbell says he can fully move his lower body and is making progress with his upper body.
What we don't: What the injury is, how long he will be out, and when he will play again.
