Will Campbell
22-Year-Old
Questionable
Injury Knee - MCL
Est. Return 5/1/2026
No offseason surgery expected
Campbell isn't expected to require offseason surgery to address the knee injury that hampered him during the postseason, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Campbell suffered a torn right MCL on Nov. 23, and though the rookie left tackle returned to action in Week 18, he notably struggled in the postseason, including during the Patriots' Super Bowl LIX loss to the Seahawks. Patriots executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf noted Tuesday of Campbell, "when he came back from that injury, I personally didn't see the same level of lower body strength that you saw before the injury. I think the film would attest to that. He probably had three of his four worst games in the playoffs. Before that, I thought Will played really well all year." Following the conclusion of New England's postseason run, head coach Mike Vrabel indicated that the Patriots plan to stick with Campbell -- the No 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft -- at left tackle, rather than consider shifting the 6-foot-6, 319-pound LSU product to guard.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Won't be moved to guard
Head coach Mike Vrabel said during his press conference to close the season Tuesday that the Patriots have no plans to move Campbell from tackle to guard, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Campbell got a lot of negative attention for his performance in the playoffs, with NFL Network attributing 14 quarterback pressures allowed to him during the Super Bowl alone. That caused concerns about Campbell's ability to stick at tackle in the long term to resurface, concerns which originated prior to the 2025 NFL Draft. Vrabel steadfastly defended the rookie Tuesday and said that he's confident that Campbell will do what is necessary to improve this offseason.
