Lions' Campbell has movement in lower body after neck injury

LOS ANGELES, United States — Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell said Wednesday he has full movement in his lower body and is making progress in his upper body after suffering a neck injury during last weekend's NFL game. Campbell remained lying face down on the floor after making a tackle in the Lions' clash with Minnesota, was carted off the field, and has remained hospitalized since. After the team said signs were positive for Campbell's recovery, the 26-year-old player expressed optimism about his progress in a statement issued via the Lions' social media. "I'm incredibly encouraged by the progress I've made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I'm continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body," said Campbell. "I know there's still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I'm taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better." Speaking to media later Wednesday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell said receiving the update direct from his player "means a lot". "That's powerful in itself. You know, more than hearing it from me or anybody else. Those are his and his family's words, so that's powerful," he said. "That always helps to know that he's improving, because at this point that's all you're looking for, is just to know that he is improving," said Campbell. "This thing, the status is changing every eight hours, 10 hours, in a good way." The 26-year-old from Iowa was a first-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Lions, chosen 18th overall. Campbell had a career-best season for Detroit in 2025 with 89 solo tackles, five sacks and 176 combined tackles. He also forced three fumbles and recovered two. The Lions signed Campbell last May to a four-year contract extension worth $81 million. The injury occurred during Detroit's 19-15 NFL victory Sunday over previously unbeaten Minnesota. After making his third tackle of the contest by stopping Minnesota tight end TJ Hockenson, Campbell remained prone on the floor, and was placed onto a backboard by medical personnel.

Eala looks to finally solve Valentova puzzle in HK

SEEKING a quarterfinal spot at the WTA 250 Hong Kong Open, Filipino sensation Alexandra “Alex” Eala looks to finally solve the puzzle that is Czech Tereza Valentova on Thursday. The time and court assignment for the second-round clash between the 21-year-old Eala and 19-year-old Valentova at the Victoria Park Tennis Stadium were not yet available as of writing. World No. 17 and tournament No. 2 seed Eala topped lucky loser and world No. 132 Emerson Jones of Australia, 6-4, 6-3, to begin her campaign last Tuesday. On the same day, world No. 85 Valentova dispatched Japanese and world No. 129 Himenu Sakatusume in their first-round clash, 6-3, 7-5. While Eala has a higher ranking and a main Tour title (500 D.C. Open), she has failed to beat Valentova in their two encounters. Eala yielded to Valentova first at the 250 Osaka first round, 1-6, 2-6, in October last year. The Filipino fell to the Czech anew at the 1000 Doha Open first round, 6(6)-7, 1-6, last February. “I’ve had very tough matches against her in the past. She’s proven to be a really good player not just against me but [overall] she’s played really well,” said Eala of Valentova. “She should be a good challenge for me like every match as well. But all I can do is do my best to prepare, and when I’m out there, fight with everything I have.” Aside from finally getting Valentova’s number, Eala also seeks to shore up her 1-14 record against Czech Republic players. Eala ended her 13-game skid against Czech players, also known as the “Czech Curse,” when she beat Nikola Bartunkova in the 125 Birmingham final, 5-7, 6-3, 7-5, for her first title of the season last June. The lefty lost again to a Czech player in Lindo Noskova at the 500 Berlin Open semifinal, 2-6, 4-6, also last June. Noskova, who went on to win the Berlin tournament as well as Wimbledon, holds a 2-0 head-to-head record against Eala. The Czech first defeated the Filipino at the Indian Wells fourth round, 2-6, 0-6, last March.
