Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell proved his toughness under the bright lights of Monday Night Football, but it wasn’t without pain — and plenty of blood. After leaving the game briefly against the Baltimore Ravens, Campbell later opened up about the gruesome details of the injury that sidelined him momentarily.
The linebacker revealed that he suffered a nasty cut that left him bleeding heavily during the game. Trainers rushed to stop the bleeding and patch him up, but Campbell insisted on returning to the field as quickly as possible. His determination to battle through the injury became a rallying point for the Lions’ defense, which held firm in one of the team’s biggest wins of the season.
“Once I got it cleaned up, I was good to go,” Campbell explained, downplaying the pain while crediting the medical staff for getting him back out there. For fans, though, it was another reminder of the grit and resilience that has become a trademark of Detroit’s rising defense.
Campbell’s willingness to fight through adversity added to the Lions’ growing reputation as one of the NFL’s toughest squads — a unit willing to leave everything on the field to chase a championship.
