The 2025 fourth overall pick was helped into the Patriots’ blue medical tent before he was assisted onto a cart and taken to the locker room.

The Patriots initially ruled Campbell questionable to return.

He had been one of the Patriots’ top performers on a reshaped offensive line. PFF has charged Campbell with allowing five sacks this season, but he hadn’t allowed one since Week 9 against the Falcons.

Patriots left guard Jared Wilson and special teams captain Brenden Schooler were both ruled out with ankle injuries. Right tackle Morgan Moses also briefly left the game with an illness.

The Patriots previously had strong continuity on their offensive line, losing Wilson to just one game this season. Campbell, center Garrett Bradbury, right guard Mike Onwenu and right tackle Morgan Moses have started every game.

Veteran offensive tackle Vederian Lowe replaced Campbell at left tackle. Rookie Marcus Bryant has earlier entered the game for Moses.
