Hawks in the NFL: Week 8 - Black Heart Gold Pants
By Google News Sports ·
Apologies on my tardiness with this. I felt we needed a firm update on Jack Campbell before going forward with anything. We got a positive update from Campbell himself yesterday, so let’s go through a somber Week 8 in the NFL. Jack Campbell, TJ Hockenson, and Sam LaPorta Sunday started so well. We had a reunion in Detroit with two of the best tight ends the Hawks have produced in the last ten years plus an All-Pro in Campbell. Hockenson found the end zone again, his third touchdown of the year, in a 4-reception, 58-yard day.

If Campbell plays again, it’s a bonus. That is a great update and it sounds like he’ll be ok. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates on Campbell as they’re provided.
