**Campbell Praises Muhammad's Performance and Discusses Defensive Strategy with Veteran Addition**
Detroit Lions' coach was effusive in his praise for Muhammad's recent performance, calling him "outstanding" and "relentless." Muhammad's impact on the field was notable, including a tackle for loss, a defended pass, and drawing a crucial holding penalty on a third down. The coach highlighted his unselfishness and dedication to the team, qualities he values highly.
Looking ahead, the linebacker rotation is a point of focus, especially with the incorporation of veteran Kwon Alexander. Both Campbell and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn are familiar with Alexander from their time together in New Orleans. They believe his energy and relentless playing style will fit seamlessly into Glenn's defensive scheme, which has significant carryover for Alexander.
Campbell anticipates that Alexander, along with players like David Long, Ben Niemann, Ezekiel Turner, and Trevor Nowaske, will all contribute in various roles at the WILL and SAM linebacker spots. "Every one of those guys will play a part and contribute on our defense," Campbell stated confidently.
In other news, there is cautious optimism about the possibility of cornerback Carlton Davis III returning for Thursday's game against Green Bay. Davis, who missed the previous game against the Chicago Bears due to a knee injury sustained against the Colts, remains day-to-day. While the secondary managed well without him, Campbell emphasized the need for generating takeaways, noting missed opportunities against Chicago.
