ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Lions All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell has been placed on injured reserve, less than a week after he was hospitalized with a neck injury.
The Lions made the move Saturday along with adding Nick Whiteside to the active roster from the practice squad and promoting edge rusher Anthony Lucas and running back Jabari Small from the practice squad.
Detroit (5-2) plays at Miami (1-6) on Sunday.
Campbell said earlier in the week that he has full movement in his lower body and is continuing to make progress with movement in his upper body.
“I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic,” Campbell said Wednesday in a statement released by the team.
Campbell was injured early in the fourth quarter of a win over Minnesota last Sunday. He was face down on the turf and not moving after hitting Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson. Campbell was evaluated by medical personnel before being strapped to a board and carefully lifted onto the cart.
“Jack continues to improve, which is all great news,” coach Dan Campbell said on Friday.

TOKYO (AP) — A strong earthquake shook central Japan early Sunday, shattering store windows, causing people to flee buildings and leaving at least 22 people injured, according to local media.
Japan’s Meteorological Agency put the quake’s magnitude at 5.7, while the U.S. Geological Survey reported it at magnitude 5.5. Smaller aftershocks were reported.
A wide area near Aichi Prefecture was affected, including the city of Hamamatsu, the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara and nearby prefectures of Yamanashi, where Mount Fuji is located, as well as Gifu.
Japanese TV footage showed shattered store windows and scattered shards of glass on the streets. A bookstore was left with mounds of books that had flown off the shelves. The injuries included people who fell from stairs while they were trying to flee.
The quake, which struck at 1:04 a.m., was located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) below the earth's surface in Shizuoka Prefecture. Aichi and Shizuoka are neighboring regions. They are far enough from Tokyo that the quake was not felt there. The most violent shaking was felt in Aichi, according to official seismic assessments.
The meteorological agency warned people to brace for possible strong quakes in the coming week, especially the next two to three days.
“Please be on the lookout for mudslides, falling rocks and the possible effects from rainfall,” Ayataka Ebita, an agency official, told reporters.
He said no apparent change was detected so far to the Nankai Trough plate, where scientists say a megaquake can possibly hit.
The Shinkansen bullet trains were running at slower speeds in the affected areas as a precautionary measure. Sometimes quakes can damage the railways the trains run on.
Japan is located in an area that is prone to earthquakes. Authorities frequently instruct people to stock up on bottled water, food and batteries, have plans ready to hide under tables and keep comfortable walking shoes at hand.
