Overview
- Head coach Mike Vrabel said Campbell, believed to have an MCL sprain, must miss at least four games under IR rules, making the regular-season finale his first eligibility to return.
- Vrabel named Vederian Lowe the starting left tackle with rookie Marcus Bryant on standby, while Ben Brown is next up at left guard.
- Rookie LG Jared Wilson sustained a high-ankle sprain and will be inactive against the Giants, with his timeline helped by New England’s Week 14 bye.
- Roster shuffling included promoting CB Miles Battle to the 53-man roster; recent moves also added OT Thayer Munford Jr., with DT Milton Williams already on IR.
- A medical analyst characterized Campbell’s injury as consistent with a grade 2 MCL sprain and projected a 4–7 week recovery, aligning his realistic return with Week 18 or the playoffs.
