What happened: The Detroit Lions are dedicating their Week 9 game to Jack Campbell after the linebacker sustained a neck injury in Week 8. Campbell exited Detroit's 19-15 victory against Minnesota and remains sidelined.

Why it matters: Detroit enters Week 9 at 5-2 on a three-game winning streak while adjusting its defense without Campbell, who reported progress in movement following his hospitalization. His absence tests depth in an NFC North race where all four teams currently hold winning records.

By the numbers: Campbell has made 57 tackles in 2026 through 7 games. Detroit is 5-2 in 2026 through 7 games with a three-game winning streak.

What to watch: Detroit takes the field for Week 9 looking to extend its winning streak while Campbell continues his recovery.
