Jihaad Campbell Injury News & Updates

Campbell finished with two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.

The output marked a season low for the rookie linebacker, who also played on fewer than half the defensive snaps for the first time in 2025. With Nakobe Dean back from a torn left patellar tendon, the Eagles are still figuring out their linebacker rotation.

Campbell finished with three tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 28-22 win over Minnesota.

Campbell's three stops tied a season-low mark. The rookie linebacker has 43 tackles and two defensed passes (including an interception) through seven games this season.

Campbell recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

Campbell has maintained a consistent role in the middle of the Eagles' defense, though there was some question of how much the return of Nakobe Dean would change his outlook. Campbell was on the field for exactly 90 percent of defensive snaps, while Dean played exclusively on special teams. That snap allocation could change as Dean gets back into game shape, but Campbell has had a strong start to his rookie season and should remain a big part of Philadelphia's defense regardless.

Campbell (biceps) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Giants.

The rookie linebacker from Alabama upgraded from limited practice Tuesday to a full session Wednesday, suggesting he's moved past his biceps injury in time to face the Giants on Thursday night. Campbell has impressed through his first five NFL games, recording 33 total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception. Now healthy, he's expected to start alongside Zack Baun as part of Philadelphia's top inside linebacker tandem.

Campbell (biceps) was estimated as a limited participant on Tuesday's injury report.

Campbell sustained a biceps injury during the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. The Eagles have held two walkthrough practices this week ahead of Thursday's NFC East tilt against the Giants, so Wednesday's practice report should shed light on Campbell's chances of suiting up.

Campbell (biceps) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Campbell compiled 11 total tackles (six solo) in the team's 21-17 loss to Denver on Sunday, but he may have left the game a little worse for wear. The linebacker will have two more chances to increase his workload at practice ahead of Thursday night's contest on the road versus the Giants.

Campbell recorded 11 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos.

Campbell was able to reach double-digit takedowns for the first time in his young career, finishing second only to fellow linebacker Zack Baun (12) in tackles. Campbell has hit the ground running in his rookie campaign, compiling 33 total tackles (18 solo), while also adding an interception and a forced fumble over five games so far this season.

Campbell posted four tackles (two solo) and an interception Sunday in a 31-25 victory versus the Buccaneers.

Campbell came up with a huge interception in the fourth quarter, picking off Baker Mayfield in the end zone on a pass intended for Chris Godwin. It was the first interception of Campbell's career in his fourth NFL game. The rookie linebacker has settled into Philadelphia's defense nicely, logging 22 tackles, two defensed passes and a forced fumble through four games.

Campbell (triceps) was a full participant at practice Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Campbell was able to progress from a non-participant at Wednesday's practice to a full go for Friday's final session of the week. The linebacker has been dealing with an apparent triceps injury, but he now looks to be set to play Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Campbell (triceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Campbell sat out of Wednesday's practice due a triceps injury, which he might have picked up during the Eagles' 33-26 win over the Rams in Week 3. Friday's injury report will provide more clarity on his status heading into Sunday's road matchup against the Buccaneers. Campbell has 18 tackles (10 solo), one pass defense and one forced fumble through the first three games of the regular season.

Campbell was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a triceps injury.

Campbell dealt with a shoulder issue during training camp but had been healthy to begin the campaign, playing over 90 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps each of the first three weeks. It's unclear when or how he picked up the triceps injury, but he'll likely need to return to practice at some point this week in order to be able to suit up Sunday in Tampa Bay.

Campbell recorded three assisted tackles, a pass defensed and a forced fumble during Thursday's 24-20 win versus the Cowboys.

Campbell had an otherwise quiet day on the stat sheet, but the fumble that he forced late in the third quarter at Philadelphia's 10-yard line was crucial to protect the team's 24-20 lead. He'll still probably be hoping to rack up a higher tackle total in Week 2 at Kansas City.

Campbell (shoulder) saw increased work in team drills during Monday's training camp practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Campbell was limited to start training camp while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but he has progressed enough to participate in team drills. He was selected by the Eagles in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft after a strong final season at Alabama, when he recorded 117 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles over 13 games. Campbell will have an opportunity to compete for a starting spot at inside linebacker, with Nakobe Dean (knee) representing his biggest hurdle.

Campbell (shoulder) was officially considered a limited participant in Saturday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

However, Campbell worked with the first-team defense and appears ready for padded practice Tuesday, per Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com. Thus, the rookie first-round pick is on track to shake his injury tag within the next week barring a setback. With Nakobe Dean (knee) on the PUP list to start training camp, Campbell should continue to start next to Zack Baun at inside linebacker, and he could win the job outright with a strong preseason performance.

Campbell (shoulder) was a limited participant in Philadelphia's first day of training camp Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Campbell fell to the end of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft due in part to concerns regarding a labrum issue that ultimately required surgery in March. However, he appears to be ahead of the team's original injury timeline, as he wasn't expected to start participating in the Eagles' offseason practices until August. The 21-year-old is expected to compete for a starting role immediately with Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean (knee), who began training camp on the active/PUP list.

Eagles DC Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Campbell (shoulder) won't practice until "sometime in August," Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Campbell underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder back in March. This timeline would put Campbell ready to return during training camp and ahead of Week 1. The Eagles landed the standout inside linebacker with the No. 31 overall pick in April's NFL Draft.

Campbell (shoulder) isn't taking part in rookie minicamp Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com reports.

Campbell is still recovering from a torn labrum that he had surgically repaired in March. The Eagles have more than enough talent on defense to bring the rookie first-round pick along slowly, though Campbell's expected to recover from his injury in time for training camp.

The Eagles selected Campbell (shoulder) in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 31st overall.

The Eagles tend to do a consistently good job with their premium draft picks, and Campbell was often projected to go earlier than this. Despite a distinguished career at Alabama, where he started two seasons and really broke out as a star defender in 2024, Campbell faced some concerns that he lacks a clear position. Like Jalon Walker (selected 15th overall by Atlanta), there's reason to think Campbell is a tweener in the positive sense (good at more that one position) rather than the negative meaning (good at neither and slightly misfit for both). For Campbell to log 117 tackles (11.5 for loss) in 2024 and then run a 4.52-second 40-yard dash gives him a strong profile from a production and athleticism standpoint, so the Eagles will probably find something useful for him to do even if they're not completely sure what in the meantime. Campbell underwent surgery to repair a torn shoulder labrum in March, but the most recent reporting indicated he's expected to be ready for training camp.
