Former LSU left tackle Will Campbell sustained a knee injury against the Bengals on Sunday afternoon and was carted off with a towel over his head. It looked like he was rolled up on at the end of a play late in the third quarter.
Campbell was the fourth overall selection in this year’s NFL draft, the latest Top 10 pick from LSU in a long list that includes recent stars like Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, Derek Stingley Jr., and more.

New England Patriots offensive tackle Will Campbell (66) is examined with an injury in the third quarter of the NFL Week 12 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the New England Patriots at Paycor Stadium in downtown Cincinnati on Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025. The Bengals fall to 3-8 with a 26-20 loss at home.Campbell has had a strong start to his rookie season, starting all 11 games as the Patriots stormed their way to a 10-2 record. Campbell’s Pro Football Focus pass blocking grade of 75.0 is the top mark among rookies this season, and his 96.7 pass blocking efficiency rating is the third-best.
If Campbell’s injury proves to be serious, it has disastrous implications for the Patriots’ season. Their quarterback, Drake Maye, has already faced the third-most pressures among NFL quarterbacks this season. He’s performed relatively well in such situations, with the 12th-best offensive grade when under pressure this year, but Campbell’s absence could make it nearly impossible for Maye to find success.
