Promising season of Will Campbell with the New England Patriots took an unpleasant turn after the rookie offensive lineman suffered a knee injury, forcing him to leave the field. The former LSU graduate was gaining momentum in his first year in the NFL, so his sudden exit caused serious concern among fans and coaches.
As updates on his condition and recovery come in, here are the latest news on what happened to Will Campbell, how he is feeling now, and when he might return to the field.
Campbell injured his right knee during the Patriots' game against the Cincinnati Bengals after a defender seemed to land on his leg as he was blocking. He immediately fell in pain, was evaluated by trainers, and ultimately carted off the field. He did not return to the game.
According to team updates, it is believed that Campbell suffered an MCL strain. Although the injury is serious, initial reports indicate that it will not end his season. He has already started treatment and is expected to miss time while his knee heals. The Patriots have not yet placed him on injured reserve, but it remains a possibility depending on how his recovery progresses.
Campbell is expected to miss at least a few weeks until his knee fully recovers. If the Patriots place him on injured reserve with a designation to return, he will have to miss at least four games. He has already been ruled out for the upcoming game against the New York Giants. His return timeline will depend on the stability of his knee and how quickly his MCL responds to rehabilitation.
Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed that Campbell will miss the upcoming game, saying: «I can’t imagine Will playing in the game… This injury will likely last more than a week or two»
