Lions Sign 77-Game Veteran Linebacker After Jack Campbell Injury

The Detroit Lions are still dealing with the frightening aftermath of the horrific injury suffered by linebacker Jack Campbell during Sunday’s victory over the divisional rival Minnesota Vikings. However, Campbell wasn’t the only linebacker that the Lions lost during the contest, as Jimmy Rolder suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for the remainder of the 2026 campaign and may also require surgery. In the meantime, the schedule does not pause to allow Detroit’s injured players to heal, and general manager Brad Holmes has signed a veteran linebacker from the New England Patriots‘ practice squad.
