Campbell recorded six total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Tampa Bay. Campbell saw his usage increase in Week 2, playing 35 of the team's 48 defensive snaps after playing only 58 percent of the snaps in Week 1. As a result, he finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with safety Brian Branch. The linebacker has now compiled 13 total tackles (six solo) over the team's first two games of the 2024 season.

Campbell recorded 95 tackles, 2.0 sacks and one pass defended over 17 regular-season games in 2023. Campbell seemed ticketed for a starting job alongside Alex Anzalone after Detroit spent a first-round pick on Campbell, an off-ball linebacker, in the 2023 NFL Draft. While 2021 fourth-rounder Derrick Barnes opened the year in the starting lineup, both Campbell and Barnes ended the season having logged around 60 percent of the defensive snaps, and Campbell joined Anzalone in the starting lineup for 11 of the final 12 games while Barnes started only eight of those contests (while missing one game to injury). Thanks in part to a larger role on special teams, Campbell ultimately averaged half of a tackle more per game than Barnes along with one more sack and a pass breakup. With plenty of room to grow from a playing-time standpoint combined with Barnes entering the final year of his contract, the 23-year-old Campbell is a strong bet to be in Detroit's long-term plans and is a realistic candidate to have a bigger role entering his second season in the league.

Campbell recorded five tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 20-19 loss at Dallas. Campbell's production was fine in Week 17, but it could be read as somewhat concerning that he was again third in snaps (39) among Lions linebackers behind Derrick Barnes (43) and Alex Anzalone (62). Detroit's matchup versus the Vikings in Week 18 does not play to Campbell's strength in defending against the run.

Campbell logged 10 tackles (six solo) in Detroit's 28-13 loss to the Bears on Sunday. Campbell had a productive performance once again despite the loss, as he led the Lions in tackles. This also served as the first time the rookie first-round pick has tallied double-digit tackles in his career, and he now has 70 total (41 solo) on the season.

Campbell logged nine total tackles (four solo), including two tackles for loss in Sunday's 33-28 win over the Saints. Campbell tied his season-high in tackles during Sunday's contest, and his nine stops were also enough to tie Derrick Barnes for the Lions' leading tackler. The 2023 first-round pick has had a solid rookie season, but he's been a little inconsistent thus far, recording four or less tackles in six of the team's 12 games. Look for Campbell to continue learning and improving down the stretch for Detroit's defense.
