“He won’t be out there this week. It’s going to be a couple weeks. We’ll have to make a decision here on the roster [possibly putting him on IR] – to see how long that will be. And go from there. But it’s nothing that’s going to, hopefully, put him out for the entire season.”
Mike Vrabel with some context on LT Will Campbell’s right knee injury — he says he doesn’t currently believe it would be season-ending.
