Campbell, who secured a four-year, $76.5 million contract extension before the start of the season, impressed in the season opener, demonstrating why he's considered one of the cornerstones of the Jaguars' defense. However, his absence has left the team scrambling to fill the gap, often relying on a rotation of cornerbacks and nickels. This approach, though well-intended, exposed the team's vulnerabilities in pass coverage, leading to one of the poorest defenses in the league.
Head coach Doug Pederson offered an optimistic update on Campbell’s return, noting that his preparation throughout the week had been promising. "Tyson looks good, had a good week of preparation," Pederson was quoted as saying. He added that Campbell would be evaluated further before the game, with the final decision likely to be made by Saturday. Pederson also mentioned that running back Travis Etienne, dealing with a similar hamstring issue, would be a game-time decision. Both players’ availability would be pivotal for the Jaguars' chances in the must-win game.
In addition to Campbell's activation, the Jaguars have also made other roster adjustments. Running back Jake Funk and defensive end Joe Gaziano were elevated to the active roster, providing additional depth for the team heading into the weekend.
With Campbell's return, the Jaguars are poised to regain some much-needed stability in their defense. His presence on the field is expected to help fortify the secondary and offer relief in a game where every play will matter. Jacksonville will be facing a New England Patriots team eager to turn its season around, making this a high-stakes matchup for both sides. The Jaguars, however, have gained a significant advantage with the likely return of one of their top defenders. For Jacksonville, the upcoming game represents a critical point in their season, and the return of Campbell could be the turning point they desperately need.
