Previously anticipated, now official: The Jaguars have activated starting cornerback Tyson Campbell from their injured reserve ahead of Jacksonville’s Week 7 matchup with the New England Patriots at Wembley Stadium in London, the team announced Saturday.
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson shared last Wednesday that Campbell was likely to be activated in Week 7, and reiterated the suggestion this past Friday, “barring any setbacks.”
“Tyson looks good, had a good week of preparation,” Pederson said.
It appears there were no setbacks, with Campbell trending toward returning to the gridiron Sunday for the first time since Week 1, when he suffered a hamstring injury against Miami. He went on the injured reserve on Sept. 12.
Campbell recorded three tackles including one for loss against Miami in the season-opener, his first game after signing a four-year, $76.5 million contract extension with Jacksonville in July.
The Jaguars’ No. 33 overall pick in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft, Campbell has recorded 207 tackles with seven for loss, six interceptions, 30 defended passes and two forced fumbles in 44 career appearances.
Jacksonville vs. New England will kick off Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET / 2:30 p.m. BST, at Wembley Stadium in London.
